My Mother Has a Heart for Me
Chorus: My mother has a heart for me.
She’s always had a
heart for me.
How did God know
that I needed her love?
Why did He do that
for me?
When I was a baby, a child and a teen,
My mother would comfort me.
She’d open her heart, and I’d feel all her love
She knew how a mom ought to be.
Later I stumbled and wandered alone
Feeling unhappy but free
My mother would call and send hugs and kisses
Saying, “Only God knows who you’ll be.”
I would look in the mirror and not know my part
Confusion was all that I’d see.
Mom would remind me to look in my heart,
Who does God want you to be?
Now life is different, my vision is clear.
Some things are easy to see.
The trust that erased my confusion and fear
Was God’s love through Mom’s heart for me.
Chorus
It sounds like you have a wonderful Mom. I like the poem. I think I will remind younger son to look into his heart and ask the same.
