Can you love more deeply, a child who sometimes strays
Can you sit in silence when there are things to say
Can you look into their eyes and read them like a book
Can you know what they will say, when they give you that look
Can you pray for strength to guide and point the right direction
Can you do what it will take, to make a course correction
Can you cheer them to the finish line
Can you let them go when they're doing fine
At times I know you wonder, why do I even bother
The truth is simply put, it's because they call you Mother
