Nothingness
My path of life was full of thorns,
she covered it with her velvet smile,
When I silently embraced loneliness,
she walked beside me hand in hand,
When my shadow questioned my worth,
she answered and calmed the unrest,
I burned my dreams, she saved the ashes,
I cursed my fate, she believed in God,
When hope had left, she gave faith,
O, mother you saved my life, from nothingness.
