I’m tough as a Mother, strong and true.
It takes a tough one to handle you.
pressed and tried and sometimes blue
it’s all I can do
to not lose my mind
to not lose my cool
I realize its not you
the time, the energy,
it just really takes a toll
but you make it worthwhile, so let the good times roll.
It’s life
its the ups
its the downs
but don’t worry
my darling, i’ve got you.
When you were sick
I wanted to be the one
to ease you
to make you all better,
like shoulders on a cold night loves a sweater.
When you were afraid
I wanted to comfort you
to make you feel safe & secure
I watched you sleep
I saw where you laid
I wondered about your future
and the plans i’d made
for you to grow up right
to stand up for the weak
to be strong and confident
but also stay meek
Many sleepless nights
and restless days
were spent in many ways
making sure you were healthy
for all of your days.
But those times would come,
it’s inevitable, you see,
you’d be sad, you’d cry,
you’d have your first heart break
& again, you’d need me.
So right there i’d stay
by your side til the end
i’d fight for you
i’d die for you
whatever was broken, i’d mend.
But all those times
I wanted to fight
it wasn’t my fight you see
I can’t save you
I can only teach you
I had to let it be.
This was a tough lesson
not just for you but also for me
but one that made us both
much stronger
one day, my darling, you’ll see.
So please do me this favor
always be your best &
when you try your best
but don’t succeed
you get up and try again.
Will you do this for me?
I know life is tough
it’s the way it has to be
but as tough as it may get
you & I my darling are much tougher,
as tough as God would let us be.
-Hannah
