How do we get through
All of lifes toils and snares
How does a women deal with all the pain
From the children she bares
What is the meaning of life
Will we ever know
As a women watches her children
As they learn and grow
Together we watch
As leaves fall to the ground
In the middle of night, a child screams
Through the storms thundering sounds
There is a difference
Between happiness and grief
The mother hugs and comforts her child
Brings the child some much needed relief
Is this the difference
Between what's wrong and what's right
The mothers child
Is now sleeping peacefully through the night
Time pasts so fast its hard to believe
As the crying mothers now grown child
Decides now is the time to leave
Life may seem a little crazy and wild
The mothers now married daughter
Gives birth to her first child
