A Mothers Smothered Pain
Blackened killing little by little silently
Fighting sickness violently
Aching endlessly throughout your entire being
Sucking it down so family goes unseeing
Battling silently while frightened of the end
Wanting only happiness while there's still time to spend
Keeping hope alive for your children's sake
The sadness you catch in thier eyes almost more than you can take.
Feeling it grow inside choking out your air
So many bad people this could happen to, life seems unfair
Looking in your childrens eyes
Inevitably each day more of you dies
Hoping each one can move on once that time has come
When your purpose here is done and you must return to where you're from
Each moment allowing your feelings to show
So when you arent there they wont question but will know..
That every breath thier mother took since they were sent down from above
Each breath was taken with an abundance of unquestionable love..
Now that shes gone and walks with Jesus instead
We can hear her voice " my love lives forever in your hearts and head"
