Mother, Shake Hands With Me



Mother, Shake Hands With Me

I am the one

You prayed so hard for

You thought that I'd gone too far

But Mother your prayers

They have all been answered

Now, Mother shake hands with me.

Many a night, I'd walk by your bedside

Thinking that you were asleep

But I'd hear you say

Dear Lord, I thank you

I knew who you'd ask him to keep.

Now, Mother I know

Your heart is still aching

For the ones still outside

But Mother lets pray

They'll come home to you and say

Mother shake hands with me, too.
