Acceptance
I heard my mother cry last nightHer gentle sobs muffled and slight
Was it me that caused her pain?
Her passing left my heart with stain
The morning comes bringing reality
I recognize that it was my fantasy
The crying had been mine and mine alone
My heart felt as if it were made of stone
She's been gone now two years past
The time rushing oh,so fast.
My heart now stands filled with alarms
Distanced me from her loving arms
Were our goodbyes not clear enough?
How could I forget life's path, so rough?
My thoughts were never of her being gone
But , always of writing her own life's song.
Telling the world of paths she'd taken
Of loves come and gone, and she'd awaken
Never the thought of my loneliness
I have healed with some success
But, lingering there in the recesses of my mind
My mother's love is easy to find
It rescues me from grief's depths , so dark
My thoughts sharpen as they do in the song of a lark
Once more my mother's hand guides me
Through the hills and valleys of life so free.
To free me from the binds of lost mother's love
Free to receive her loving care again from above.
