My Child

I was there

I was aware

A spark lit up

And I knew

Ohh I knew alright

My heart would never be mine

Again

You will never know

You could never understand

How you own my

Heart

How could you

Understand?

Change

Somewhere along the way

I changed from a young child

Into a woman

And observe with melancholy

Love and sadness

As the fruits of my womb

Do the same

My Son

My son
First from my womb
Growing up in the shadows
Of a baby girl
Turning into a man
Taking my breath away
Sparkling blue eyes
For all I’ve done wrong
I’ve been blessed
With a son
Like you

Silent Kisses

When I feel your body close to mine
When I hear your beating heart
When I know that you are safe
And no harm can come your way
I close my eyes and pray
Silent kisses for today

Motherhood

My heart is yours to share
Your burdens will I bear
I will love you for your life
And shield you from all strife
