Can there be anything more lovely
Than the beauty of a tree?
Her leaves shimmering in the wind,
Dancing so gracefully.

The strength of her mighty roots
That grows deep into the earth.
She's weathered every stormy gale
For all that she is worth.

Standing tall, resilient
With her branches lifted high,
She refused to bow, to break or bend
But reaches upward to the sky.

The beauty of the strength within
As she held her head up high.
Her strong resilient spirit
Grew wings and learned to fly.

She bowed her head, closed her eyes,
As she began to pray.
She said, "Dear God, watch over her.
Keep her in Your tender care today."

She prayed for strength to keep you strong
And joy to fill your heart with song.
She prayed for courage, prayed for faith
To keep you going on.

She asked that life wouldn't be too hard.
She prayed for wisdom and for grace,
That whenever you felt overwhelmed,
You'd feel the love of God's embrace.

She told Him of her love for you,
How a mother's love will never part,
How she carries her concern
In a place called MaMa's heart.

MaMa said a prayer for you.
She knew that God would hear.
She spoke this prayer to a loving God
For someone very dear.

Ears that hear, eyes that see,
A heart that understands.
One who sees the broken pieces,
Gently holding them in your hands.

Eyes that tear up with emotion,
Ears that hear what you can't say,
A heart that beats with feeling,
Helping pain to edge away.

Ears that hear the silent cries,
A heart that feels the breaking,
A soul who knows that kind of pain,
The anguish, depth of aching.

Ears that listen patiently,
Eyes that see through tears,
An empathetic, caring heart
That understands your fears.
