A Mother's Love

 

"I have a boo boo can you kiss it please?"
I hold up to you my scraped up knee.
And without a thought that maybe you won't
You lean over, kiss it, and I know
that it will get better.

I tried to run away tonight
I snuck carefully out
before I even made it
Half way out of town
I turned back.

Pre-teen angst has no power
against a mothers love.

I know you told me not to
But it was the biggest party of the year
So I went anyway
And drank too much beer
Who did I call?

You never told me
I told you so
You just held me as I cried
Never let me go
You love me anyway

Teenage Escapades can't fade
a mothers love.

I thought he loved me
really I did
I never thought
I'd have his kid
and he'd leave...

Even though you never liked him
you held me close as I cried for him
and helped me through it all without fail
all the way to baby's first wail....
You're a grandma.

A young adult always able to count
on her mothers love.

"I have a boo boo can you kiss it please?"
As he holds up to me his scraped up knee
and without even a thought that maybe I won't
I lean down to kiss it and I know
A mothers love.
