The mother holds her crying newborn daughter
She rocks her calmingly
Back and forth, back and forth
“Don’t cry,” she whispers. “You know I love you.”
Years fly by before her eyes
The mother holds her crying teenage daughter
She rocks her calmingly
Back and forth, back and forth
“Don’t cry,” she whispers. “That bad boy broke your heart for a reason. You’ll be okay.”
Years fly by before her eyes.
The mother holds her crying adult daughter
She rocks her calmingly
Back and forth, back and forth
“Don’t cry,” she whispers. “You know your new husband will always be there for you.”
Years fly by before her eyes.
The mother holds her crying middle aged daughter
She rocks her calmingly
Back and forth, back and forth
“Don’t cry,” she whispers. “That sweet baby is lucky to have you as a mother. You know I’m proud of you.”
Years fly by before her eyes
The crying daughter holds her dying elderly mother
She rocks her calmingly
Back and forth, back and forth
“Don’t cry,” she whispers. “You know I love you.”
