Mother, mother.

Your heart warms

and your mind wanders

as this moment charms

and your soul ponders.

There is so much emotion attached

to the closeness of the bond.

Yet, the surface is barely scratched

to what makes you feel fond.

It has been years of pain,

and none that you asked for.

For you smile in the rain

and you continue to explore.

That joyful love is always there.

This love hurts because you care.
