A Mother's Tears
I have filled an ocean with tears.
Salty and bitter, they flow from my soul.
All the grief, all the pain
All the sadness, all the fears.
All the hurt, all the whys.
All the could haves, all the loss.
All the regrets, all the lost chances.
All the wants, all the goodbyes.
I have filled an ocean with tears.
Sweet and soft, they flow from my soul.
All the joy, all the laughter
All the love, all of the years.
All the rewards, all the smiles.
All the triumphs, all the hellos.
All that was right and all that was good.
All the kisses and hugs from my child.
I have filled an ocean with tears.
Salty and bitter, sweet and soft.
For love, for sadness, for joy, for pain.
I have filled an ocean with tears.
With you I bury my hopes and
dreams for all the days we'll never see.
But I also bury the love in my heart
and the sadness of knowing
that we must part.
And I pray to God to do for you
all the things I would like to do.
And to keep my baby safe from harm,
to laugh and frolic in springtime's arms.
For now, everytime I see the sun,
I watch you smile as you run.
Laughing, smiling, running, playing
.... missing you.
Momma loves you baby
