Lost Passion...

Lost Passion

Oh Lover of Life come visit me now
Remind me the way it should be somehow
For I need to feel that passion again
That laughter and joy from somewhere within

The warmth that is felt when you see a child smile
The sound of their laughter never tainted by guile
The glow that you get when they look up to you
For guidance, acceptance, yes your heart, too

Then there's that first step, first date, and first car
Milestones as they grow to be who they are
Watching the years pass and seeing them change
Nothing prepares you for the years that remain

I'm not just a mother, I know that is true
But now I don't know just what I should do
I've lost that edge, that passion and desire
To get it back, do I have what's required

When young your love you give so easily
That's how you wind up as jaded as me
Don't chastise me yet, 'cause I lost my way
It's easy to do just living each day
