My oldest boy has been sick the past few days and all he has been wanting to do is curl up on the couch in pain and watch Peter Pan. He's watched it 5 times so far in the past 3 days, which means i've watched it 5 times too. And i couldn't help but getting emotional during the song about their mothers. The words are beautiful and made me all the more grateful to be a mother and to be at home doing all that i can to help my son feel better.
Here are the words:
Well, a mother, a real mother
Is the most wonderful person in the world
She's the angel voice that bids you goodnight
Kisses your cheek, whispers, "Sleep tight."
Your mother and mine
Your mother and mine
The helping hand that guides you along
Whether you're right, whether you're wrong
Your mother and mine
Your mother and mine
What makes mothers all that they are?
Might as well ask, "What makes a star?"
Ask your heart to tell you her worth
Your heart will say, "Heaven on Earth."
Another word for divine
Your mother and mine
