A TRIBUTE TO THE MEMORY OF YOU
SONGS
TO LISTEN TO
A MOTHER'S PRAYER
Music
plays intro softly under mothers reflections of the two important men in
her life.
Her
husband, and her only son.
She
lovingly sings this song to that childhood plaster handprint,
touching
those tiny fingers and reflecting on that little boy she gave birth to.
Mother:
Out
of me, came a miracle!
So
perfect in ev'ry way.
I'm
only the vessel that carried you.
The
Master molds the clay.
He
pressed your fingers into the mold.
The
words say that I love you.
But,
what do you do with a father,
who
can't show his love to you?
He
doesn't understand you.
He's
never learned to love.
Your
father is a decent man.
I
pray to God above.
Some
day he'll learn to love you.
To
love you as his son.
I
love you both. It hurts me so.
I
cannot choose just one.
(Mother
symbolically places her son's handprint
in
the hands of something greater than our understanding.
Spotlight
shrinks to isolate mothers upstretched hand holding the handprint. )
God.
Watch over him.
My
boy, not yet a man.
Guide
and protect him.
Hold
his hand.
God,
be near him.
This
son you gave to me.
Fly
my boy.
Oh,
fly so high, and be all you can be.
God.
I love him.
This
child you gave to me.
I
place his hand in yours
to
be all he . . can . . be.
THIS ABOVE ALL ELSE
TO THINE OWN SELF BE TRUE.
THOU CAN'ST NOT THEN BE FALSE
TO
NO MAN.
