My Kendra
From the time they laid you beside me
From the feel of your tiny kiss
My heart overwhelmed with love
And made this woman, in bliss
Every time you cried mama!
I have felt your pain
Every time you smiled, mama
Your funny ways, made me insane
As you grew to a woman, I seen the heart of gold
Blessing this old woman
Proudest untold
You carry this heart, this mind, and comfort for all these many long days
And give me unfailing love in so many ways
My kendra
