In the silence,
Across the miles,
I hear your unspoken words.
Suddenly my heart overflows,
Just like,
A mother to her child.
The need arises,
To ask,
How are you,
My precious child?
But then you are silent.
As you are not my own?
Yet my own.
As you are in my heart,
And in my soul.
Always been,
And will be for ever.
Does anyone need,
To belong to you ?
To have that love,
Of a mother,
To her child?
A mother to my child,
I will always be,
To my child,
A mother,
I always will be!
