Songs: Hope

by Crystal Elizabeth Webb

Created on: October 03, 2010

Her Name is Hope.
 
She came into this
World; right before
my eyes -
Her Mama was
my child;
Yeah, as the
crow flies. -
Perfect and
pretty;
Hope took
a-hold of my
heart -
as she grew;
Yeah, I knew ~
She was a
singin' beauty -
My first Grandchild;
Kinda funny;
kinda wild...
Her Name is Hope -
she's a most-beautiful,
beautiful, child. 
 
Seein' babies;


havin' babies - 
is a burden
and a blessing; 
...but a mother
cannot hover ~ 
Just, suggest -
what is best -
Yes, uh, without
Second guessing...
I've learned to
become a guide;
express my pride -
and try never, to
discourage;
Naive dreams -
Keep hope, alive!
Be on the side ~
of my children....
Hey, Her name is Hope. ~
She is a beautiful child;
she is a most-beautiful child.  
 
Nearly four years later;
N; Lord, I'm the Granny
of three -
Cute Cora, Happy Hope and 
our little jester, Jeffery -
Oh, there's nothing
that means more
to me -
Nothin' that means
more to me - than;
Yeah, than, my girls;
and their beautiful,
most-beautiful, babies.
 
Cora - reminds me
so much of her Mother;
Her eyes and her smile;
remind me of another,
yeah - eh', 
time and place -
When I rocked my
baby to sleep;
When I had dreams
to chase -
When I had to believe,  
in myself....
Now, my daughter
has to face, hey;
what I had to face; 
the aches and the pains; 
the long nights and days ~
Hey, the courage it takes ~
bein' a; young mother.
  
Hopie and Jeffery -
So cute...whooo, hooo;  
they love one another,
they look after eachother;
Eh' - like Sister and Brother.
always, do ~  
Yeah, you know, oooh,
so often, I pray, 
that they'll be okay;
dispite the mistakes
of their immature, Mother.
I know, she's gonna
learn one day;
how to behave ~
to behave like a....
Yeah, like a mother.  
Yeah, like a mother.  
 
Seein' babies;
havin' babies - 
is a burden
and a blessing; 
...but a mother
can not hover ~ 
Just, suggest -
the best - route.
Yes, never ~ eh'
Second guessing...
Never expressing
your doubts...
I've learned to
become a guide;
express my pride - 
Oh, I try not to
discourage;
Niave dreams;
Whoa, Keep hope, alive!
Hey, eh'! -
Her name is Hope. ~ 
She is a beautiful child;
Hopie is a most-beautiful child.
 
I'm lookin' forward
to the days ahead;
baking cookies -
breaking bread;
oh, oh, oh -
with these three;
beautiful, human-beings...
Knowin' they look
up to me ~
I'm
