My Mother's Tears

"I shall be telling this with a sigh." Robert Frost When I see my mother cry sometimes I wish I knew why My mother cries sometime at night Sometimes she cry just from fright My mother cries sometimes when ill The Lord knows her strenght is her will She might be weak from time to time She calls on the Lord for peace of mind My mother cries when she feels pain The Lord is her staff, strength she gains Sometimes she cries like a weeping child Then there are when her cries are very mild I her my mother pray at night Sometimes she pray with all her might She thank the Lord for each new day and pray for her troubles along the way No matter the reasons why she cries The Lord is with her He is always by her side Rosalyn M.
