Like ashes In the Wind

I wish you were different,  
but I can see only God could change you,
if you would let him love you,
I couldn’t change you if I try
I am glancing in the dark and  
the truth never lies,
My love for you is very strong  
I will keep praying for you  
to keep hanging on,
time with all your nasty little lies  
that is no way to live life,
I looked at him with tears in my eyes
I handed him a little box,
I said this is all I got to give,
he looks outside the box with a look
I had never seen,
open your mind and let your heart in;
I can’t be your friend I'm much more
then that you see;
It’s better to leave the Past and move on
In life, let love in,
The pain you hold is like ashes in the wind
the he cried and said;
what do you want from me?
you don’t understand,
I have come too far to lose again,
that’s no longer who I am don't you see,
then I looked up at my son and said  
the past is gone and I hold on to my little son,
from the time, you were born and I cared
you home;
With love that is so very strong,
this I am willing to do again,  
Don't you see?
This mothers love was built in me;
this mothers love will never die,
then he looked at me and cried with love in his  
eye’s, as we walked home hand to hand.
