for the moms

I would like to dedicate this post to all the moms. And it's brought to you by Dr. Pepper, or whatever your energizer of choice, because it takes a lot of energy to be a Mom!

For my greatest mom friends, and for the ones I don't know. For the ones that inspire me to be a better mom, and the ones whose shoulders I cry on. For the moms I rely on, whose advice and prayer lift me up. And for the best mom I know - my own Mom - I understand the sacrifice, and I am a better mom because of you. This is for all of you.

You're up all night with a screaming baby

You run all day at the speed of life

And every day you feel a little bit less

Like the beautiful woman you are

So you fall into bed when you run out of hours

And you wonder if anything worth doing got done

Oh, maybe you just don't know

Or maybe you've forgotten

You, you are changing the world

One little heartbeat at a time

Making history with every touch, every smile

Oh, you, you may not see it now

But I believe that time will tell

How you, you are changing the world

One little heartbeat at a time

With every "I know you can do it"

And every tear that you kiss away

So many little things that seem to go unnoticed

They're just like the drops of rain, over time they become a river

And you, you are changing the world

One little heartbeat at a time

Making history with every touch, every smile

Oh, you, you may not see it now

But I believe that time will tell

How you, you are changing the world

One little heartbeat at a time.

Happy Mother's Day to you! My first one was great! I noticed you posted that you are reading the shack. What do you think?
