Raise Him Well

Stay here now, you have my word
You'll be safe with me. Rest easy
And I'll be here, for as long as I can
It will give me time for introspection

The greatest love, that you've ever felt
Is now on its way. Soon you'll see how
But hand in hand, with that love comes the greatest
Pain, but with affection

You must

Raise him well, my dearest friend
Keep him close beside you
Hope that brighter future comes
Trust your love to guide you

Raise him to be so much better
Than we are right now
Help them spread their wings and fly!

I mean stretch their legs and run

I'm no saint, and it's clear to see that my
Family, is coming undone
Why, it seems, is my every dream, just as broken
As my tired heart?

Then sisters please! If I have failed
Then you must not! A new day's begun
Motherhood is the gift that hurts so good
From the start

Raise them well, and raise them right
Protect them but don't hide them
Build a home with what you have
For when the world denies them

Every tear that trickles down their cheek, you'll cry one too
Suffering by their side
Assuming they let you

But every joy they feel, you feel
And together you'll make it through
