She left you one morning, She had no choice. In a country of millions She had just one voice. The law made it clear One child would do. To obey it would mean No hope for you. As she laid you down Her eyes became blurried. On saying goodbye Said don't you worry. Another will come To take my place. A mother will come From a different race. She'll hold you and love you As if you're her own. She'll take you away To a brand new home. She then ran away Her heart broke in two. Don't ever forget Of my love for you.

A Mother's Love
She left you one morning, She had no choice. In a country of millions She had just one voice. The law made it clear One child would do. To obey it would mean No hope for you. As she laid you down Her eyes became blurried. On saying goodbye Said don't you worry. Another will come To take my place. A mother will come From a different race. She'll hold you and love you As if you're her own. She'll take you away To a brand new home. She then ran away Her heart broke in two. Don't ever forget Of my love for you.
