In defense of your Life My mother, my mom, I plead to you my case. My spirit implores and my mind ignores, All the goodness within your soul. I failed in ways enummerated, You never did. I took and ed, while Your body gave more and more, So that the love gave, Made up for the love I took. I should never deserve Such a soul as was blessed Into my life. And now that you can't hear me speak, I cannot bear the words Weighing down in my ears.
