A Mother Cries Another Tear

A mother cries another tear
As her baby is poked 
And prodded yet again.

A mother cries another tear
As she watches her grown 
Daughter cry another tear.

A mother cries another tear
When the doctors
Walk in the room.

A mother cries another tear
When the out look
Is so gloom.

A mother cries another tear
For what has
Yet to happen.

A mother cries another tear
Knowing this infant
Is her gift from God.
