Taken For Granted

Taken For Granted

I see you, the real you,
The one who's given to all,
Those who are in trouble
turn to you,
And You offer your hands
to help them.

You've walked through the storm,
Nights alone and torn.
All of your children
you'd give them millions,
if you had it to give.

I remember you
On those summer days,
Back to the time when dreams mattered
and your heart was still open.
When your baby closed his eyes forever
to watch you hurt should be a sin.
I know your just wasting time now
until you can be with him.

But you where born into this evil world
that makes us cry.
So much pain under God.
Children that you raised
turn thier backs on you, and still you prey for them.
One day they will learn  the tables always turn,
and they will feel your pain.

How can I make you see,
Life's lessons aren't meant to be easy.
Saying good-buy to those you love,
is the hardest lesson sent from above.
On the day the new world begins
all who you love, will be united again.

So please dry your eye's,
I hate to see you cry,
You are my second mother,
And if I could choose,
I would have no other.

Hold your head up high
look into the mirror and see,
what I see, you are wonderful.
You are beautiful, and please believe
this life is spiritual.
All that we go through
is part of a bigger plan.
It's all in
     God's hands...
