A Diamond In The Rough



I dream of having family
Wish for fortune and fame
I bet if you ask a million others
They would say the same

I dreamed of having children
I finally had two
I think of all the women out there
Whose child dreams don't come true

Why are babies grown
Their mommies giving birth
Just to be here shortly
Then taken from this earth

Children are so innocent
Taken advantage of
But all they truly need
Is lots of mommy's love

Next time you see your child
Hold them very tight
And think of all the children
That never make it through the night

Tomorrow is never promised
This we all should know
So take that extra minute
To let your children know

That they truly are a treasure
A diamond in the rough
and that you'll always love them
Even when times are tough
