A Mother’s Prayer

A MOTHER’S PRAYER

When I close my eyes at night, I pray through the tears of pure delight.

Knowing I taught my children to stand up right, and to walk with pride and never look back.

While staying on the right track and staying within the walls of their faith. This is why they will never walk alone.

When they stop and listen – to a mother that cares, while holding on – to a mother’s prayer.

At the End of the Day

AT THE END OF THE DAY

When the shadows Fall, and there’s no one to depend on, you can depend on me.

When you’re home all alone and all your friends are gone, at the end of the day, and nothing’s going your way – you can always call on me.

When you climb the stairs and turn the key and if no one is there, and you need someone to care, you can depend on me.

At the end of the day and nothing’s going your way – you can always call on me.

I’m just a friend, that’s all I’ve ever been, you can always call on me;

At the end of the day, all I can say – is thank you for being – my friend.
