Mommy for a Day
A Heart's Struggle: Mommy for a Day
Lyrics
I go to see my little girl each Sunday afternoon
I visit my daughter every Sunday afternoon.
And how I dread the words I know she'll say
I anticipate the words she'll say, which sadden me.
She'll ask me when I'm coming home
She'll inquire about when I'll return home.
I'll answer pretty soon
I'll respond, suggesting it'll be soon.
But I know I'm just her mommy for a day
Despite my efforts, I recognize that I'm only her mother for a limited time.
She's much too young to realize why mommy can't come home
My daughter doesn't understand why I can't be home.
And that her daddy wanted things this way
Her father chose this situation, possibly for specific reasons.
We kiss goodbye and my heart breaks to walk away alone
We say goodbye, causing me immense pain to leave her alone.
To have to be her mommy for a day
It's heartbreaking to only fulfill the role of her mother temporarily.
I loved her dad with all my heart
I deeply loved her father.
they lied and ruined our home
Outside influences misled and destroyed our family.
Oh, why did he believe the things they said
I question why he trusted those falsehoods.
I pray in time he'll change his mind and take me back once more
I hope he reconsiders and reconciles, so I won't have to be away from my daughter temporarily.
Then I'll not be her mommy for a day
When reunited with him, I won't have to be her mother for a day.
She's much too young to realize why mommy can't come home
My daughter remains unaware of the reasons behind my absence.
And that her daddy wanted things this way
Her father intentionally set up this situation.
We kiss goodbye and my heart breaks to walk away alone
Leaving her after saying goodbye is agonizing for me.
To have to be her mommy for a day
It's distressing to fulfill the role of her mother only temporarily.
