Can I Call You Mom

This little orphan girt, about 10 years old
Was at my back door in the dead of night.
She was in her Pj's, and was freezing cold
Was hard to see her face in the back porch light

She started to run away, but we got her inside
I wrapped a quilt around her, to get her warm
I asked her, her name, and got no reply
Could tell she was scared, we meant her no harm

I cleaned her up a bit, and gave her some food
She stopped what she was doing, got very calm
She started to smile, and she told me her name
Then she softly asked me, "Can I call you mom"

The little Orphan Girl who came to my home
She was only ten, and always on the run
She showed up one night, looking for love
She found it that night, and she still calls me mom

The little Orphan Girl who came to my home
She was only ten, and always on the run
She showed up one night, looking for love
She found it that night, and she still calls me mom

She showed up one night, looking for love
She found it that night, and she still calls me mom
