Your mama didn’t know
When she labored much
To give you your life
That some day God
Would use you so
To truly bless this wife
Your mama didn’t dream
As she kissed
Your toddler tears
That she was raisin’ you up
To be a wonderful man
Who’d bless me many years
Your mama didn’t know
As she cried
And you went your wayward way
That our incredible Lord
Would capture your heart
And she’d live to see that day
Your mama never dreamed,
Or maybe she did,
Of the man you would become
New clear through,
Repented, changed and cleaned,
By our precious Holy One
Your mama’s there right now
Living with Him
Who died to set us free
Realizing the reward
Of prayer, hard fought
To give life to you and me.

WOW, this is awesome and beautifully written. It reminds me of my mother praying for my brother that died. She never saw him saved but her prayers were answered and now he is with her in heaven now. Well done Marijo !
