The goal of our "Song Challenges" is to write songs/lyrics on demand within set parameters. We don't critique each other's songs in this thread (but you can say you like someone's song if you want to.) Please post your original works. If you have already written a song/lyric that fits within the parameters, please feel free to post it.
Almost time for Mother's Day. This time write a new song about a mother. You don't even have to use the word mother, just make sure the song is clearly about one. Have fun!

Hey there Jean, Gosh, I've been so delinquent with the Song Challenges (among other things)! So here's one I dug up from the vault to help out. Thanks a bunch for keeping this going... and hope all's well with you  . Beth "Baby of Mine" (c) Lyrics Beth Williams 2007 V1: A moment's transgression Your life set in motion I learned the first lesson Of a mother's devotion V2: Belly rising like dough Just 16, I had no choice Was told Let Her Go Never got to hear your voice Chorus: Baby O Baby O Baby of Mine I gave you away Now I'm doing the time I kneel and I pray That somehow I'll find A way to explain We were both left behind Baby, O Baby of Mine V3: Were promises kept Or would you discover The tears wept and swept Aside, I'm your mother? Chorus: Baby O Baby O Baby of Mine I gave you away Now I'm doing the time I kneel and I pray That somehow I'll find A way to explain We were both left behind Baby, O Baby of Mine Bridge: Freckles and hair as red as can be A missing branch on your family tree Finally brought you back to me Chorus: Baby O Baby O Baby of Mine I gave you away Now I've paid for my crime All these years later I’m grateful to find You too want to make Up for all the lost time Baby, O Baby of Mine Tag: No more haunting, no more fear, Baby O Baby of Mine now you’re here
