Eyes wide open
laughing at me
the sun is up
mommy can't you see?
Time to run and time to play
Wake up mommy
it's a new day.

children of mine
can't you see
you are my inspiration
the roots that hold onto me

when I am lonely
and can't take another step
I close my eyes and what do I see?
Three sets of eyes smiling back at me

Eyes wide open
laughing up at me
the sun is up
mommy can't you see
Time to run and time to play
Wake up mommy
Time to set your soul free.

My children , my life
the key to the future
tenderly I try to shape the way
we live and play
I have hopes for them
for their future adult day.

One little step forward
as I carve my dreams in stone
a little reminder
of what I will accomplish
the dreams I still own.

Eyes wide open
Laughing at me
the sun is up
mommy can't you see?
Time to run and time to play
Wake up mommy
Time make your dreams come to be.

Courage to wander the unknown path
wisdom to know when to turn away
running ahead with no turning back,
Taking life , day by day.

Thank you My children
for the inspration
to see through the blackness that encompassed me
when I was sad and feeling so empty
You tickled my heart
and made me remember

Eyes wide open
Laughing and free
The sun shines brightly
Letting me see
Th antics of my children
and the future before me!
