I pray she never knows

I lay watching her sleep

Dreaming childhood dreams

I ask God to give my baby peace

Quietly I slip away

Alone I start my day

Tears falls like rain down my face

I’ve tried so hard to be strong

But a mama can only

Smile for so long

I pray she never knows

The words that were thrown

Like swords in battle Fighting for his soul

I pray she never sees

what he did to me

Like a caged bird I had to break us free

Bruises fade and time heals I’m told

I pray she never knows

Get the chores done for the day

Im humbled along the way

I thank God for what He’s done for me

Hear her laughing down the hall

A little life , so small

Want to give her the world, give her my all

I’ve tried so hard to make this house a home

But four walls without love are just stone

I pray she never knows

How love could feel so lonely

How I held on too long , I had to let him go

I pray she never sees

How a man’s hand can sting

How I had to choose her, why I had to choose me

I did the right thing, we’re better off I’m told

I pray she never knows
