One Day

One day
I'll be the one in those shoes
One day
I'll be filled with uncertainty
One day
I'll be a mom
with the same worries
and fears you try so desperately
to hide.
One day
I'll be the listener
instead of the talker
and one day
I'll wipe the tears
from a young girls eyes
and my heart will hurt
at the realization
that I can't take the pain from her heart.
but one day
when it is my turn,
I'll do the best that I can
and hope and pray to God
that I can do as good of a job as you have.
and you'll be so proud of, not only me,
but of yourself and what I've learned from you.....

one day.
