Thelma Colson

Looking in the mirror, see the story in my eyes

Through a heavy, hard life, I still learned to rise

Had to raise myself up when the nights were cold

Kept a sense of humor and a heart of gold

Always been the one to lend a helping hand

Holding up the weight, doing all I can

I poured my soul into the kids I raised

Loved the grandkids through their changing days

Endless empathy, always giving more

Leaving every ounce of love out on the floor

But the seasons turn, and my spirit sings

Thelma Colson, there’s a time for everything

I’ve been the steady shoulder when the tears would fall

A deeply caring woman who would answer the call

Making people laugh just to ease the pain

Walking right beside them in the pouring rain

Gave away my pieces just to make them whole

Now I’m pouring that same water back into my soul

I poured my soul into the kids I raised

Loved the grandkids through their changing days

Endless empathy, always giving more

Leaving every ounce of love out on the floor

But the seasons turn, and my spirit sings

Thelma Colson, there’s a time for everything

A time to build, a time to heal the past

A time to find a quiet peace at last

I walked the heavy miles, I paid the dues

Now I'm making room for me, I've got nothing left to lose

I earned this breath, I earned this light

I'm stepping out the shadows and into the bright

'Cause I poured my soul into the kids I raised

Loved the grandkids through their changing days

Endless empathy, always giving more

Leaving every ounce of love out on the floor

But the seasons turn, and my spirit sings

Thelma Colson, there’s a time for everything

Yeah, there's a time for everything
