Mother To Mother

Mother to daughter, mother to mother A greater love, there is no other. You looked towards me for your guidance and my love But this was given to both of us From the lord up above. I protected and sheltered you the best that I could. And you followed the same road that we all take We did not stop or hesitate. A mother is not one who just gives birth But one who shows her worth. I was her mother, she was my daughter Everything according to GODS order. I raised mine, she raised her own. But the love we had was always shown. She was like the sun bringing light into this world For she was my little girl. She was like the sun radiating beauty from The inside out, of that I have no doubt. As the sun brings a smile to your face And leaves you with a glow inside. She could do this, and that’s no lie. She created life, and loved them with such tender care And the joys and sorrows, with them she’d share. She loved and honored her children in every way she could And raised them the way a mother should. She was closer to me, more than anyone could ever know And put in me a strength that would grow. When it was the time for the LORD to take her away And I’m sure that she wanted to stay. She gave her soul to our lord above But left us with an enduring love. So to my daughter I say to you, I loved you at your birth And I loved you till the end, for you was not only my daughter, but my friend. mother to mother, I thank you with all my heart and soul For you left me with beautiful children for me to hold.
