My Mama Heart is Full.....

When my kids were babies
I used to pray and hope
that one day
they'd learn to walk and dance
to share and to listen
to be close and stay

When my kids were little,
I used to pray and hope
that one day
they'd learn to listen and wait
try to understand and
have something to say

When my kids were middle
I used to pray and hope
that one day
they'd make their path
follow their own dreams
go their own way

When my kids were almost there
I used to pray and hope
that one day
they'd see that path right there
that they had dreamed about
and fly away

Now my kids are grown
with some growing left to do
and I continue to  pray and hope
as I see them
stand firm in their beliefs
and love all that they can
they fall but still get up
even if they fall again

And my mama heart is full
And I'm grateful because

I see them making choices
and decisions on their own
I see them being far
but always returning home
