ESTEEM, ME?
Self-esteem
Can I borrow some of yours
I haven't been able to find mine
Think mom took it with her
By accident I'm sure
But yours should help
At least 'til I acquire some of my own
Laying awake at night
Awakened by my own tears
Tears flowing from my heart
Feeling nothing but alone
Loneliness surrounds me
Mistakes of the past are my blanket
My mother's love my pillow on which my tears fall
The scriptures held in memory
As a dull pocket knife
Make me hold and squeeze tighter
The pillow of mom's love.
LOVE TAINTED AND UNQUENCHED
LOVE FULL AND EVEN NOW OVERFLOWING
Can I borrow some of yours
I haven't been able to find mine
Think mom took it with her
By accident I'm sure
But yours should help
At least 'til I acquire some of my own
Laying awake at night
Awakened by my own tears
Tears flowing from my heart
Feeling nothing but alone
Loneliness surrounds me
Mistakes of the past are my blanket
My mother's love my pillow on which my tears fall
The scriptures held in memory
As a dull pocket knife
Make me hold and squeeze tighter
The pillow of mom's love.
LOVE TAINTED AND UNQUENCHED
LOVE FULL AND EVEN NOW OVERFLOWING
