A Mama's heart can
surely break
When a baby is taken
from her heart,
Her loving heart shall
sadly weep
While struggling on
life's path,
As her heart of care
is sorely torn
In the mothering to
make.
With sweet heart-beats
so deep within
She loves, unto the
giving of her all,
There's no-where else
she'd rather be
Than battling through
the gathering storm,
In the sacrifice the
more
For this miracle of
life she bore,
To pray without
ceasing
For sunshine blessing
On her beloved child
to fall.
Yet, she so desires to
open up their world
And introduce them to
it's call,
Though still to hold
them close....
When undetected,
almost too suddenly
Without warning,
One day they will just
be grown too tall.,
And somehow break that
mothering cord.
But, while at times
they will be strong
Striking out for
independence all
alone,
Quietly they will
return again
Just wanting to be
known.
The struggle for both
to be
As emotion tears and
mends,
A life-long adventure
to carry
For her heart-beat
never ends.

Though a mother may
hold your hand
for a
little while
she shall hold your
heart forever.
