Essentially, it is a tale of a mother who, in spite of all the challenges of raising her son, would enter his room while he was asleep, and rock him while singing,
I'll love you forever
I'll like you for always
As long as I'm living
my baby you'll be
She continues this throughout her life until she is too old and weak to do this. When her son comes to her death bed, he takes her in his arms and rocks her and sings,
I'll love you forever
I like you for always
As long as I'm living
my mommy you'll be.
There wasn't a dry eye in the congregation, including me. Mind you I was trying not to laugh out loud because I was imagining what my mother would have looked like dressed as a short, pudgy ninja commando crawling into my dorm room at university to rock her 6'3", 250 lb "baby"! Or repelling from the skylight like Tom Cruise in "Mission Impossible", on my honeymoon!
Life is soooo much more interesting in my happy, and very weird little world!
Later, mushers!
