The Mother Hen in Me

Guarding my children in every way,

When they sleep and when they play.

Encircling them with loving arms,

Protecting them from any harm.

Hurt my child and you will see,

A completely different side of me.

For my children I will fight,

Protecting them with all my might.

It is so hard to watch them grow,

Deep inside of me I know…

Even though I love them so,

The day will come to let them go.
