Mother's Sacrifice

I open my eyes for the first time,
But I never saw her face.
I hear people speak for the first time,
But I never heard her voice.
I don't know who she was,
But somehow she is everything.

I grow wiser, and learn of life and death,
But I never saw her life.
I grow happier, and feel my first love,
But I never felt her love.
I don't know who she was,
But somehow she is everything.

I grow old, and slowly edge along,
But I never saw her age.
I grow weary, and here I rest,
But I never saw her sleep.
I don't know who she was,
But somehow she is everything.

I wake up, and see the clouds,
And I can see he.
I stand up, and run to her,
And I can hear her.
I hug her close, I hear her voice,
And I can feel her.

I know who she is.
She is everything.
