A Mothers Love
They say a mothers love is the strongest?
They say the bond between mother and daughter
can’t be broken?
You walked along the street, never looking behind
I was 5, but knew, we could not rewind
You were gone, leaving me alone
What would happen, would you change your mind
A letter, a visit, or just phone?
No fight for your first born
My young heart was left torn
You looking forward to your new life
My dad alone, without his wife
Now a lover to his best friend
Was this a bad dream that would soon end?
Years passed with little contact
I tried to forgive, make an effort
But you had two others and I had lost you forever
You were my mum, yet still a stranger
I now have a son, my pride and joy
And our bond will never break, nor be destroyed
Cause a mothers love is the strongest, except for a few
I guess I was unlucky, but you were too
Thirty five years missed, forgotton memories, no regrets
I hope he was worth it, cause I have my dad
And his love is the best.
