As I stepped into the role of a mother and a wife,
I never thought that I would be giving up my life,
But as it turned out that’s not what I did,
I gave it my all for all of my kids,
As they grew my life they shared,
And through it all they really cared,
They grew up strong and they grew up right,
Even though their lives aren’t really tight,
Someday they will see all the pain I have had,
Being mother and wife to their loving dad.
