TEARS OF MY MOTHER
I have seen the sins of my father
In his words he tells of yesterday
His pride so strong and solid
Too often got in his own way
His soul was once as dark as any
And damned he may well have been
But if GOD truly watches from above us
My father must be absolved of all sin
His love so hot that it burned me
Engulfing my soul in its flame
But like harder steel did I emerge
For my strong morals, I have him to blame
He took me in when he didn't have to
Taught me unconditional love and family
Always there when I needed any type of thing
To make me see the stars and set me free
He blocked so many doors for me
When other tried to close them in my face
Never let them lock me out of life
Even when I brought shame and disgrace
For I have seen the tears of my mother
When the pain I brought was too much to bear
My sins flowed down her cheeks in a river
But love for me in her eyes was still there
Stronger than any perinea that I have known
Her wills a match for anyone
She tried her best throughout her life
To instill right into her son
Her love was always like a blanket
Warmth wrapping me into peace
But my sins were hard upon her
Yet her love has never begun to cease
Her heart would be too big to carry
Filled with pureness straight from the sky
For my mother must be like God
I've sinned and cursed and made her cry
Yet still would she wrap me in her arms
Hold me close and tell me how to rectify
Still show me the hopes of the future
Start me off and show me I can fly
I have seen the love of my parents
Whose arms could wrap up the world?
They're house of love and understanding
Always purifying me to the soul
They've fought and worked for me so long
I've fallen down upon them once again
And yet they still dare to dream for me
And show me by example now not to sin
I'll try my best to stand tall now
Bring them pride just by watching me live
Show them the love and understanding
They've always taught me how to give
And in my heart I praise them daily
In my soul they could not fall from grace
But its always hard for me to show it
I' hope they understand it, in any case
Like fire and water are these two together
Opposites yet make each other whole
Can forge and grow my heart and my soul
Can tear me down and remake me til I'm whole
