I was Only Meant To Be...For Jenny

I Was Only Meant to Be…

For Jenny

I was only meant to be your mother,

from the day that you were born

I held you in my arms, keeping you forever warm

I held you close beside me, tucked you in at night

just to pick you up again, keeping you in my sight.

I was only meant to be your mother

Any time of day

And when the night closed in, I was there to say

I loved you my baby daughter then and now you see

I know you’re all grown up, a baby off my knee.

But I kept the memories that you gave me, a mother I was sure

as I was only meant to be, the mother at your door.

I was only meant to be a mother, just for you to know

Because my baby daughter, it’s you who I love so.
