Side by Side
Side by Side
I share with you this special day
With great joy and pride
I see us as strong women,
Standing side by side
Because of your love and your courage
I became a mother
I am now able to celebrate this day as I do no other
Standing side by side
Three strangers feeling our way through the unknown
From which three friends have grown
Standing side by side
The road travelled has not always been easy
Nor without sorrow or pain
But nonetheless a journey with great potential for gain
Standing side by side
All around the world Mothers are celebrated today
With flowers and cards and even a breakfast tray
Standing side by side
For me it is a time to celebrate
The day it took three of us to create
Standing side by side
