All She Made of Me
From Fool to Man: A Tribute to Unseen Sacrifices
Lyrics
She was there when I was nothing
She supported me during a time when I had nothing.
But a young and foolish man;
I was once inexperienced and imprudent.
The clothes the children were
She crafted the children's clothes with love and her two hands.
She made with love and just two hands;
Her dedication to making clothes symbolizes her care for the family.
She went through hell to have the kids
She endured difficulties to bear children because she desired to.
Because she wanted to;
Her choice to have children involved going through challenging times.
You can make a fool of a man like me,
It's possible to deceive or manipulate a man like me.
If anybody can;
Anyone can make a fool out of me if they try.
But she did more than you;
Despite attempts to deceive, she did more than others.
She made a fool into a man;
She transformed a foolish man into a mature one.
And now you'd take the spice of life;
Now, all you want is to enjoy the pleasurable aspects of life.
that's all you want to do;
Reducing life to seeking pleasure is disappointing.
And I'm so ashamed of how close I came to giving
I regret how close I came to giving away everything she made of me.
All she made of me to you.
Expressing remorse for almost betraying her efforts to someone else.
And, after what she sacrificed
Considering the sacrifices she made for the family.
And all that she's endured,
Reflecting on the hardships she endured.
Her hands could hardly look as nice
Her hands, worn from hard work, may not be as refined as yours.
Or feel as soft as yours;
Comparing the physical appearance of her hands to someone else's.
Her face is lined with loving signs
Her face shows signs of love that are absent in you.
That I don't find on you;
Highlighting the lack of affectionate signs in the other person.
And I'm ashamed of how close I came to giving
Regretting the close proximity to betraying her for someone else.
All she made of me to you.
Acknowledging the risk of giving away the essence she created in me.
