STRIFE

My child I love with all my heart

The pain I've caused you by keeping us apart

You deserved much more than I gave you then

You needed a Mother - you needed a Friend

I was a pitiful sight when you needed me most

My life was off track - I was a Living Ghost

If I can pull myself out of this dilemma I put myself in

I promise to never hurt you or desert you again

But to be the Mother you deserve me to be

Not that half-track nitwit that people want to see

This I promise my son - This you can bet

When the Lord is through with me - There will be no regrets

Please forgive me my son - Please stay strong

I put myself on this road - I know it was wrong

Have patience my son - Through these trials I must go through

Stay strong for me - Keep the faith till your Mother returns to you

There's a God up above and he has plans for us you see

He's making my road harder - So I can be better for you and me

God I know you're near me - You hear me when I pray

I put my all in your hands - that is where it all shall stay
