Simple Prayer II

Dad used to have Mom's picture
An angel from a scripture
Snapped right before God picked her
And floating without care

Her eyes still drive me crazy
And I see them in our baby
Maybe smiling eyes will save me
That's my simple prayer

Before Daddy left us
A vow to not forget us
Mom just made me breakfast
Never mentioned it, I swear

A single mom's solution
Through guilt our love is proven
He'll eat up absolution
That's my simple prayer

A modern working mother
I thought I would discover
How best not to hover
And give my family air
But chicks need Momma's breast
Until they pass a life test
Please don't fall from my nest
That's my simple prayer

Back when I had someone
But life has pulled a fast one
This might cost me our son
It's a nightmare
I'm afraid she will blame me
If he's not back home safely
Please, nothing more to shame me
That's my simple prayer
