Fourteen years old in a hand-me-down jacket Comb through my hair and set lunch in my backpack Kiss me goodbye with a tear in your eye Mother of three doing all that you can Birthday parties in backyards No sign of a husband You were enough for us More than you ever could know You were enough for us No matter what you were told You were enough Thirteen years old, felt the loss of your mother Learned to find strength and work hard from your father Of three little girls, doing all that he could I've watched you survive every season of struggle Led by example, your love never subtle I wish that you could see you as we do You were enough for us More than you ever could know You were enough for us No matter what you were told You were enough Year after year, setting your needs aside Selflessly working yourself through the night Moving up slowly With a smile on your face every time You were enough for us More than you ever could know You were enough for us No matter what you were told You were enough
