There's a lot to be said
About being honest and straight
Time moves by so very quickly
For no one will it wait

My mother had a lot of trouble
Explaining the facts of life
She always kept herself busy
A good mother and wife

Her generation kept things quiet
Certain things just shouldn't be told
But I was no longer a child
I was nearly thirteen years old

I had so many questions
That I carried in my load
So when Mum didn't tell me
I asked my friend across the road

From then on I made a promise
That when I had a child of my own
I wouldn't make the same mistake
She wouldn't feel lost and all alone

My experience made me determined
To never hide things from my child
She could ask me anything
Without her mind running wild

Never will I refuse to answer
Any question she has for me
I'll be open and I'll be honest
Which is how I feel it should be

(BIG HUGGGSSSSSSS) Oh Sue, I'm so sorry your mom was so preoccupied and never got heart to heart with you that much, sweet friend, there is indeed a great sense of wisdom here and I know you will always be a caring mother with so much love to share and even when it may be a difficult question to answer, you will always say it in the best way possible! (kiss on cheek) God Bless You, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Sue, thank you for sharing!
