A Women's Life
MADONNA HEADLEY 1985 (United States)
I am only one
But I must be all 3
Mother wife daughter
A caregiver I shall be
No one knows the struggle
How hard it can get
To be the one they come to
When sad hurt or upset
As sit here in the dark
With one last worry and sigh
I wonder do they notice
That on the inside I cry
I would not change anything
I'll be there till my end
Even though I struggle
To be the best for them.
