Two baby girls
So tiny so small
We grew up together
I thought I knew it all
Changing diapers
Making formula too
Sterilize bottles
I had no clue
Crying all night
And sleeping all day
Lord, something is wrong here
Was all I could say
I held them and rocked them
I couldn't find out
What was the problem
I had my doubts
Two years apart
I was ever so glad
If I would have had twins
it would have really been bad
I taught myself everything
I became such a pro
Before long I learned it
I put on quite a show
Other feelings came in
Ones I never had
The instincts of a Mother
Sometimes they hurt so bad
I watched them sit up
Crawl, stand, and tumble
When they fell I cried
to see them stumble
I sat there wondering
just what to do
I knew that I knew nothing
I was such a fool
All I had was this toolbox
I brought though life
Believe me, it didn't have much
Kind of tarnished and light
It held all the things
That I learned inside
I prayed to God
Please let me do right
Little did they know
We did it together
We stumbled, tripped, fell
And got up again
It sure seemed to me
Like stormy weather
We lived and learned
All the way through
We laughed when we could
We cried lots too
Mothers are funny
They don't seem to change
Babies grow up
Mother hens stay the same
Babies go out on their own
They say don't worry so much
But this Mother thing
It pulls no punch
It stays in our hearts
As long as we live
It's our job we learned
Our heart and soul to give
Those two baby girls
Are just as special today
As when the Lord gave me their lives
Each in a special way
Thank you Lord from up above
To let me give my own true love
I feel so blessed for all that was sent
Straight down from you
On the wings of a dove
