Rockville Rocks

*"Storm Cover"*

Never let your storm get your kids wet,
They didn’t cause the rain, so they shouldn’t carry it yet.
When thunder rolls and clouds go black,
I stand in front and take the hit for them.

Cover them.
Protect them.
Shield them.
Pray for them.

God gave me 4 reasons to be strong
Even when I’m drowning, I still make sure they’re dry.
My tears can fall, my world can shake,
But their peace? That’s mine to guard, no matter what it takes.

That’s parenting.
That’s love.
That’s covering them in prayer
Until the storm is gone.
