What Fills a Mama's Heart

 Do you know what fills 

 A mama’s heart 

 It’s filled with worries 

 Worried that you might hurt yourself 

 Worried that no one will ever 

 Be good enough to fill 

 That empty space in your heart 

 It fills with pride 

 Proud when you learn to talk 

 Proud when you walk the aisle 

 It fills with sadness 

 Sad when you cry 

 Sad when she cries 

 And you no longer can 

 It fills with love 

 Enough love to overflow 

 The dry barren lake her heart 

 Was before you 

 Before you first smiled at her 

 Before you first held her finger 

 With your tiny hand

 Before you ever said 

 “I love you too Mama” 

 A mama’s heart 

 Is filled with many things 

 But most of all 

 A mama’s heart if filled 

 With love
