And as a mom all we really know
Is we love our children heart and soul
And will forevermore
We give and give until they are full
Of our love for them and our hope they will
Be happy and safe and loving still
And will be forevermore
And yet when Christmas is said and done
We are left here, just us, the only one,
To sit alone and remember the fun
They had forevermore
We dry our tears and take a breath
Alone and lonely, remembering the death
Of our dreams and wishes and their depth
And will forevermore
We rise from the chair
And no one is there
Off they go without a care
And will forevermore
We grab the broom
And sweep the room
Our hopes woven on a broken loom
And will be forevermore
For we have given all there is
Like Christ has died and then is risen
The savior weeps and naught is given
And will be forevermore.
