Tumbleweed

You're my blood, my very last born child

Always had a spirit, tender, sweet, and wild

At three years old, you reached into that fan to pull your blanket out

You didn't shed a single tear, while I was a mess and pacing all about

We'd go walking down the road just to watch the horses run

My little girl, shining brighter than the sun

Oh, my Tumbleweed, my beautiful angel

Singing and acting, painting colors on the table

You've got a faithful heart that never gave up hope

Even when I was hanging at the end of my rope

You never turned away, you kept me on the track

I love you to the hunnybun and back

Swimming in the summer, hunting arrowheads in the dirt

Building stick teepees in your favorite little shirt

Taking pumpkin head pictures, laughing till we cried

I held my breath in the passenger seat when you learned to drive

But nothing compares to the day your little boy arrived

Sweet Lane Charles White, the greatest joy of your life

Oh, my Tumbleweed, my beautiful angel

Singing and acting, painting colors on the table

You've got a faithful heart that never gave up hope

Even when I was hanging at the end of my rope

You never turned away, you kept me on the track

I love you to the hunnybun and back

Watching you raise him now that he's a year old

Shows me what I didn't do, if the truth is being told

You're already so much better than I ever was, a mother full of grace

A believer in Christ, bringing light into this place

You kept your faith in me when I didn't deserve it at all

Faith Alexis Burns, you caught me every time I'd fall

Oh, my Tumbleweed, my beautiful angel

Singing and acting, painting colors on the table

You've got a faithful heart that never gave up hope

Even when I was hanging at the end of my rope

Always, forever and a day, you kept me on the track

I love you to the hunnybun and back

My baby girl, to the hunnybun and back
