Little people, funny creatures
Once so fragile now so strong
Little people, who are you now?
To me no more do you belong.
I wait so fearful, apprehensive
Who am I to be?
Was once their world, their eager faces
Eternally turned to me.
I doubt, I fear, I do not believe
And thoroughly distrust
The bond of motherhood so strong
Find strength for them, I must.
What cannot be broken, has changed forever
A ghostly reminder it did not last
Our fortress of love soon to crumble
We are but memories , fading fast.
So here I stand an empty vessel
Who am I to be?
Those little people, funny creatures
What do they want from me?
