| A Mother's Love I watch you with him And I am amazed at what I see Such love and joy in your eyes Such gentleness in your actions When I heard you were pregnant I was shocked, and worried I just couldn't visualize you with a child Truthfully, I feared for the baby But watching you now I see how very wrong I was This is what you've needed your whole life This pure, unconditional love You have truly been transformed Even now, while he's still so young I see a bond between the two of you that is extraordinary I think this child will be your savior The one thing that will turn you around The one thing that could And I'm ashamed that I ever feared you would harm him I just didn't understand You've been waiting for this child The one being on whom you could pour all of your love And have no fear of it not being returned Completely, without reservation, and forever That holy love between a mother and her child |
