Mother's Love

Where can she be,
This woman, this lady?

This 'Mum'
This 'All Loving' someone?

Where did she go,
This 'warmth', this 'home'?

Why do I sometimes feel
So Alone?

What did she decide,
This shell, this empty shell?

Did she choose to live in her own
Hell?

Where do I look,
Can I seek what I wish to find?
Am I out of my mind??

Then I look
And I see,
This woman,
She is ME...

I may not have that warm embrace,
That gentle touch upon my face,
That 'safe place'...

But,
I can give and I can see
That which mirrors back to me

From gentle hugs,
Eyes huge, fingers tug

Pull my heart strings
My heart can sing!

If only I could feel that love,
That love,
That love...

But,
I will give that love...
To you.
