A Mother's Cry

Aimless without direction My heart cries out with sorrow My hopes and dreams all vanished No promises of tomorrow Left with only a memory That can never fade away Abandoned without discretion As I live from day to day The future holds no meaning As I count each day the same My loving arms now empty Without a love to claim I dare not look for reason But the bitterness fills my soul A pain without consolement That none should ever know Left with only pictures That beckon for my smile Frozen moments in time That harbor my denial Silence fills the air I breathe Not wanting to exhale My soul now filled with echos In a lost and empty shell I struggle each day to survive As my heart becomes defiled A loss without redemption For one who's lost a child
