Dad used to have Mom's picture
An angel from a scripture
Snapped right before God picked her
And floating without care
Her eyes still drive me crazy

And I see them in our baby

Maybe smiling eyes will save me

That's my simple prayer



Before Daddy left us

A vow to not forget us

Mom just made me breakfast

Never mentioned it, I swear



A single mom's solution

Through guilt our love is proven

He'll eat up absolution

That's my simple prayer



A modern working mother

I thought I would discover

How best not to hover

And give my family air

But chicks need Momma's breast

Until they pass a life test

Please don't fall from my nest

That's my simple prayer



Back when I had someone

But life has pulled a fast one

This might cost me our son

It's a nightmare

I'm afraid she will blame me

If he's not back home safely

Please, nothing more to shame me

That's my simple prayer
