A Mother's Love

You say you want to be a friend and be there,
But listen to what you say when I tell you of the pain that isn't
fair,
Maybe you don't mean those words at all,
You can't see how those words made me fall.
It you'll take the time, my friend,
Sit down by my side and let me begin.

First of all what gives you the right to tell me to be strong and
fight,
Don't you even understand I'm fighting back my feelings with all my
might?
But why should I hide behind a smile,
Why can't I let the tears fall, oh for just a little while.
For it's not me I'm crying for,
It's my angels that are at heaven's door.

I've heard so many people say you're so lucky to have one,
For there are many people out there that end up with none.
But does that stop the suffering and pain,
Or the endless nights that I suffer in vain.
Does that stop the tears that I hold within,
As I see my little man as his life begins.

You say to be happy they didn't suffer at all,
I don't think that's something I can recall.
Were you there that very night,
As they feel asleep and drifted out of sight.
And if you were why didn't you help them to stay,
Oh you have no ideal what I'd give for just one day.

Oh but the worse one that I can recall,
Is where they say get over it all.
Do you really think as the days, months, and years fly by,
That my love for my angels will ever die.
Oh let me make this so perfectly clear.
A mother's love is the most greatest and dear.
