WHAT DO YOU MEAN?


AS A TEEN YOU HAD NO IDEA, YOU WOULD ASK WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
AS A MOTHER YOU WILL KNOW
AS YOUR BABY GROWS, YOU WILL PRAY FOR THE UNSEEN
DURING LABOR AND DELIVERY YOU WILL PRAY TO SEE
WHEN YOU DELIVERY YOU'LL PRAY, GOD LET HER LOOK LIKE ME.
AT BIRTH TO A YEAR, SHE WILL BE A DEAR.
AT TWO THE WORD "NO" WILL SET IN.
THREE YOU'LL SAY SHES JUST LIKE ME.
AT FOUR SHE START SLAMMIG YOUR DOORS.
BETWEEN FIVE AND TEN HER LIFE BEGINS
YOU'LL SMILE ON THOSE DAYS AND SAY,
OH,
WHEN YOU THOUGHT YOUR MOTHER WAS SO MEAN, AND WOULDN'T ALLOW YOU TO
DO ANYTHING, IT WAS LOVE.
LOVE
YOU AS A MOTHER WILL DO THE SAME, AND YOUR CHILD WILL LOOK AT YOU AND SAY
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
YOU WILL THINK IN YOUR MIND, NOW I KNOW WHAT MY MOTHER MEANT .

LIKE ALL MOTHERS WE ALWAYS COME TO PRAY WHEN IT COMES TO OUR CHILDREN
YOU WILL SHED MANY TEARS
SOME OF JOY
SOME OF PAIN
SOME OF SADDNESS
SOME OF FEARS
HOW DO YOU TELL THIS MOTHER SHE WON'T BE.
