I See You As Mine

Im not your mother,

But I see you as mine.

I held your hand as you sat there

With tears in your eyes.

A kiss on the forehead

As we say goodnight,

The world will grow quiet

And the stars shining bright.

Oh I’m not your mother,

But I see you as mine.

A gift sent from heaven

Bathed in soft prayer,

Not born from my body,

But held just as dear.

No i'm not your mother,

But I’ll stand in that fire,

I’ll hush all your worries

And soothe your small cries.

All that I am,

Is yours to hold.

I'll take on the world,

So you don't feel alone

Sleep now, my love,

The night will be kind.

Oh I’m not your mother,

But I see you as mine.
