How Does a Mother Guide Her Child Through Life?

Hold my hand, Mommy

And show me the way

So that I can go out

In the big world one day.

Teach me the basics

and then let me learn

Should I ever get stuck

I will know where to turn.

Cheer me up, Mommy

When I'm feeling blue

I can always rely

On a kind word from you.

Dry my tears, Mommy

When I'm feeling sad

Let me know it's ok

And I won't feel so bad.

Show me the sunshine

And then set me free

To the beautiful person

You raised me to be.
