Lead ,,Don`t Push

Momma all you can do

is plant a seed of god ,in her heart

and pray for her each time you are apart



The Lord,he will water the seed

he will supply ,according to her need



Good times,bad times,she will see them all

and as the need arises she will learn to call

just pray the lord will be with her if she falls



She will be like a bird

just learning to fly

she will laugh,she will cry



Just be with her in her time of need

and let god water that seed



And when shes ready

you will see her spirit grow

and the lord she will always know...
