Yearn a Child Yearn a Mother

Mother of no children yet mother to care
Children of the earth is responsibility of all
Soul yearns a child but un-mothered mother blossoms
A heart as an ear to their whispers
Children of the earth is responsibility of all
Attention seeking, neglected or abandoned in fear
Heart as an ear to their whispers
Happiness glistens and child as child should be 
Attention seeking, neglected or abandoned in fear
Soul yearns a child but un-mothered mother blossoms
Happiness glistens and child as child should be
Mother of no chidren yet mother to care
