The Heart That Always Loved Me
Shawn Smith- August 17, 2006
The hands that stroked me gently
with tender loving care
The lips that called out to God
and taught me words of prayer
The voice that sang me little songs
which filled my heart with joy
A comfort in the darkness
when I was a little boy
She was the wind beneath my wings,
my rock when I was weak
She was the one who flattered me
and kissed me on the cheek
She rocked me in the cradle
with her sympathetic hand
She gave me words of comfort
as the boy became a man
The heart that always loved me
has finally ceased to beat
Her long and weary journey
is finally now complete
