In A Mother's Heart

When desperation surrounds me,

my troubles too much to bear,

another stands beside me,

one who truly cares.

I try to face the onslaught,

of troubles that lay ahead.

I can never feel too weary,

for my friend keeps me in good stead,

when to take another burden I cannot bear.

I feel her move beside me and whisper a soft prayer -

"For child I am your mother

and never will you roam,

for no matter the distance between us

in my heart I will always offer you a home,

to help support and guide you

through the troubles you may face,

and with love my darling

eventually you'll find your place,

one day you'll have children, a family and home of your own,

and when this day happens

no more need you roam,

for in that sacred moment when your husband makes you his wife,

in another's hands I gently place your life.

Yet still I'll be your mother,

you need only to call,

for daughter you should know by now,

your my love, my life, my all."
