The love between a mother and daughter is like nothing else
in the world. It has no rules, it dares all things and crushes all
that stand in its way, and cannot be destroyed, even by death.

Mother Said



mother said that I was her angel
she surrounded me always with her love and warmth
and since her death I have been empty
there are days when I am angry

with my mother I could share each secret
every nightmare dreamt
she would help me solve a problem
and send away each monster

now, my heart has been pierced
and on my soul are forever bleeding wounds
there are days my misery comes to engulf
oh, what I would do for one more glimpse

of all things mother said not a single one was false
her wise words to me were the best amongst
all others ... she had a wisdom and depth
and now, that I have lost mother ... I have nothing
