A Mother's Song
Words and Music: Anthony W. Carter


Tying little shoe laces
Wiping off dirty faces
Are just a couple of things
That a mother will do...

Mending a broken heart
Is only just a part
Of the care and the love
That I've given you...

With a Kool-aid smile
And a sparkle in your eyes
I wrap you in my arms
And whisper this advice...

Be strong, be kind
Be patient and in time
You'll find out, my son
What true love is all about

Be faithful and be true
Show love in all you do
Then you'll know, just how
You make your mother proud

Now, baby boy days have passed
And you've grown up so fast
But in my heart
That little boy will never be far...

So every day is a blessed day
There's so much I want to say
But above all, I thank God
For the "bigger boy" that you are...

With a tender smile
And a twinkle in your eyes
I wrap you in my arms
And whisper this advice...

Be strong, be kind
Be patient and in time
You'll find out, my son
What true love is all about

Be faithful and be true
Show love in all you do
Then you'll know, just how
You make your mother proud

You are making your mother so proud...

Slooowly waking from nap time (he wakes like his Mom!)

Oh!  Hi Mom...I didn't see you there... until the flash blinded me!
