Mama’s Legacy
I wonder if you really know, just how much I care
And how much I appreciate the times that you were there
When others gave me up to die, at the very start
You reached down inside yourself, and found A mothers heart
I’ll do my best to make her live, for she’s my baby girl
And with an old time remedy, you made me cry and shrill
And that was not the only time you showed your mother’s heart
No, that was just the first time, you more then did your part
I guess I’ll really never know, the sacrifices made
To see that I grew up to face the world unafraid
But there’s one thing I do know, was you who led the way
And I owe it all to you for what I am today
You said "You’ll be successful, if that’s what you want to be
And you can go just as far as your eyes can see"
And I watched you set the pattern. And I watched you show me how
To be a real good mama to the one who’s now my child
If I can show my daughter the way that you showed me
She’ll be the very best of mom’s, just wait and you will see
For you’ve given something special in the life you lived for me
You passed on a mother’s heart A LIVING LEGACY
Dedicated to my mother in 1987
