Mommy Tears
Mommy tears started long ago,
Mommy tears started long ago,
when your Dad proposed to me,
when I said yes they were happy tears when he knelt on bended knee.
Mommy tears came once again on the day that you were born,
these tears were mixed with Daddy's love on that unforgetful morn.
Mommy tears were shed once more when you spoke your very first word,
I thought that day would never come,
for Mama I swore I heard.
There were times when you got sick and your fever came on fast,
my tears of worry started to fall wondering how long this would last.
It wasn't long and you started school,
I kept strong as I watched you go,
but when I came into the house Mommy tears had a steady flow.
Soon, I know, there will be a time when you become a man,
for Mommy tears will slowly fall when another holds your hand.
Someday you'll understand these tears when you hold your daughter or son,
but for now I'll keep you to myself as Mommy tears are never done.
