The Value of a Mother

At night the baby cried
asking for his mother,
slowly she carried
and slept him on a feather

Years had arrived 
and its time to search for a bride
years had arrived
and the one to be carried 
forgot his carrier
 
Years had arrived
and when she died
he knew the value of his mother
