A Mother's Love

Petrified, you call my name You cannot see my face You resent me for this wretched pain Your anger is misplaced You know not how my love does stretch To the sun and back to earth Try a boomerang in a game of fetch And you might see how this works I'll never leave you behind I can't live without my heart If I could ease your troubled mind This very moment, I would start But you carry this fear around It has made, in you, a home If you do not hear my sound You assume, you're all alone But I'll tell you a million more times I'll explain it a thousand unique ways I'll carve it out, in stone or pine I love you for all of my days

They grow so quickly but never outgrow the love of a mother's voice...
