INSIDE OF EVERY WOMAN’S HEART
Mother’s Day is to celebrate the dear women who bore us
Who raised us and who kissed our hurts
and bedtime stories told us.
Yet there are some, like me… or you?
That no flowers will cheer
Because no children will be there
to bring flowers, this year…
The ones of us who never knew
the joy of having children,
some sad and lonely twist of Fate
made bearing them forbidden.
There are others who’re now alone
from some cruel destiny’s decision
that took the children from their home
leaving the moms grief-stricken.
And finally there are the ones
whose lives too long led them to wait
until too many years had passed
and then it was – too late.
So it’s for us I write these lines
I’ll celebrate us on this Day
In another Dream, another Time
we might have gone another way.
But we still have to carry on
And hold this Truth – no Other
Inside of every woman’s heart
there’ll always be
a Mother…
Happy Mother’s day to you all… love you
