mother looks beyond the glass
toward the million miles away
she seeks young fading child
lost in shadow and end of day
mother sings for saving life
that love would fly ‘cross the gap
she sends heart-heavy hopes away
pulls reflection from black old trap
mother wants light and laughter
ringing along the sunlit plain
fears cold and the broken gold
cries ‘GOD!’ at baby’s cutting pain
mother is fierce and fire
she is iron will for beauty’s grace
this one is her sweet charge
this one’s from within her space
mother holds forever
blood ties never sever
mother is forever
forever….
