A Tie That Bonds

 

In a promise from our Lord of each new day in nature
Through this life there abundant of new living things
As in a seed that is planted to honor our parents as they
Entwine and weave in our life to what it may bring

A tie that bond for my family we would stay together
Was always within my love for them inside my heart
In labor of my babies at their birth to unite to each other
My learning the beauty of motherhood we’d never part

The loving care of nurturing each of my babies they were
My very own gift I was taught at my own mother hands
I had to pray and protect my own family to watch them
Grow in the storms of life to teach them all to understand

For me as a mother I welcome my babies into their own
World with open arms I was their best friend for a life time
My babies that I carried within all the words of their sweet
Language I praise them it will always stick inside my mind
