Mother

I watched you many times. My heart cried out for you. A world of your own, And love your only crime! I thought I was loved to! Mother, how could I have ever known? I heard your words call to me. My soul truly loved you! A world of handed down shame, And your need to sincerely believe! I thought I was needed to! Mother, how could I have seen the very same? I felt your warmest touch. My mind wanted the mother in you! A world of your fame, And your want for so much more! I thought I was wanted to! Mother, what is it that I can I truly claim? I prayed for you day and night, My faith needed me to! A world of mine I have inside to give, And my need feels like my only right! I thought I gave all of this to you! Mother, I must have died so you could live! ®Registered: 1997 ANN RICH
