Like ashes In the Wind 

I wish you were different,  
but I can see only God could change you,
if you would let him love you, 
I couldn’t change you if I try 
I am glancing in the dark and  
the truth never lies, 
My love for you is very strong  
I will keep praying for you  
to keep hanging on,
time with all your nasty little lies  
That is no way to live life, 
I looked at him with tears in my eyes 
I handed him a little box, 
I said this is all I got to give, 
he looks outside the box with a look 
I had never seen, 
open your mind and let your heart in; 
I can’t be your friend I'm much more 
then that you see; 
It’s better to leave the Past and move on 
In life, let love in, 
The pain you hold is like ashes in the wind 
the he cried and said; 
what do you want from me? 
you don’t understand,
I have come too far to lose again, 
that’s no longer who I am don't you see,
then I looked up at my son and said  
the past is gone and I hold on to my little son,
from the time, you were born and I cared 
you home; 
With love that is so very strong,
this I am willing to do again,  
Don't you see?
This mothers love was built in me; 
this mothers love will never die, 
then he looked at me and cried with love in his  
eye’s, as we walked home hand to hand.
