Mother

When love begins to sour
It begins the countdown to the final hour

Tried and true
You are now broken and blue

Desperate and trying
You believe you are dying

Eyes full of tears
It may take you many years

There is no bargaining
You will never be back to together again

You are with child
A great reason for you to smile

Dreams of the past
Simply dreams, never meant to last

You have fallen on your as(s)
Believe me, this moment too shall pass

Now you have given birth
A brand new life, now added to this earth.

You & your child go to the park
As you watch him play, it becomes dark

Your son has never met his father
You now know real love, because now, you are a mother
