Lois

Looking in the mirror, seeing all the years go by

I've been the steady hand, the one who dries the crying eyes

Raised my babies up, watched them step out in the light

Now their babies have babies, what a beautiful sight

I built a home on trust, a caring heart that understands

Held the future of this family right here in my hands

Oh, Lois, keep on shining through

Always be true to the woman in you

Laugh often, let the joy overflow

Love unconditionally, let the feeling show

You've been a safe place for everyone else

Now it's time to be a safe place for yourself

Seeing all those generations, watching how the branches grow

From my children to my great-grandkids, the sweetest love I know

I gave them all my care, taught them how to stand so tall

Every time they needed comfort, I was there to catch the fall

But through the changing seasons and the ticking of the clock

I promise to remember I'm my own foundation rock

Oh, Lois, keep on shining through

Always be true to the woman in you

Laugh often, let the joy overflow

Love unconditionally, let the feeling show

You've been a safe place for everyone else

Now it's time to be a safe place for yourself

Take a breath, take a moment, let the memories rewind

Every smile, every tear, every piece of peace of mind

I am worthy of the love I've given out for all these days

I'm wrapping up my own heart in a warm and tender embrace

Trusting in my journey, trusting in my soul

Knowing that this loving spirit makes me whole

So, Lois, keep on shining through

Always be true to the woman in you

Laugh often, let the joy overflow

Love unconditionally, let the feeling show

You've been a safe place for everyone else

Now it's time to be a safe place for yourself

Yeah, a loving, caring, safe place for yourself
