Mother’s Shield

Soft shadows creeping by

Our door

Saw her weary eyes from

The night before

Voice so tired heart so sore

My angel mama I can’t

Ignore

Hands that raised me now

In mine

Years have passed yet she’s

Divine

Gonna shield her from life’s

Grind

Wrap her soul in love’s line

Singin’ mama let me guard

Your smile

Keep those worries far

From miles

In a world so wild so vile

Promise to ease your trials

You will always be mama to me

My love for you is like oceans deep

You are my world

You mean the most to me

All the nights that she sang me

To sleep

Now those lullabies I tend

To keep

Hold her close her heart to

Sweep

Promises to always keep

Time’s a thief but love

Stands tall

I won’t let her stumble and

Fall

Gonna be her baby and shield her from all

Catch her every tear small

Or tall

Singin’ mama let me guard

Your smile

Keep those worries far

From miles

In a world so wild so vile

Promise to ease your trials

You will always be mama to me

My love for you is like oceans deep

You are my world

You mean the most to me

The struggles you went through

And the ones you overcame

The loss you suffered

From life’s sick game

You held your head high

And fought through the flames

You are a gift in this place

In all I do I see your face

I can only dream of having

Your love and your strength

Singin’ mama let me guard

Your smile

Keep those worries far

From miles

In a world so wild so vile

Promise to ease your trials

You will always be mama to me

My love for you is like oceans deep

You are my world

You mean the most to me
