A Mother’s Love.
She sits in a chair,
faded magazines by her side.
She stares straight ahead,
counting the minutes gone by.
The nurse calls her name
and gives her a smile,
but she’s so afraid
she can’t stand for awhile.
The doctor gives her the news
with a grim look on his face.
Mary just can’t hold back her tears,
as she prays for God’s grace.
It’s the worst of her fears,
a mother at 16 years.
She used to dream of a life
Where everything’s right,
where nothing is ever out of place.
Where every son and daughter
has a mother and father,
to meet them with a warm embrace.
A world where every child
will know all the while,
of the love that cannot be erased.
6 months down the road,
and she lets out a cry
as she lays in a cold hospital room.
The nurse holds her hand,
and says “push all you can
and it will be over soon.”
The doctor cuts the cord,
and Mary starts to cry
as she gazes at her new baby girl.
She grasps her to her chest
as the nurse pats her hand,
and all seems alright in the world.
She used to dream of a life
where everything’s right,
where nothing is ever out of place.
Where every son and daughter
has a mother and a father,
to meet them with a warm embrace.
And she vows that her child
will know all the while,
of the love that cannot be erased.
How could she ever think
of letting her little one go?
When she looks in the eyes
of her newborn child,
she sees everything she ever
needed to know…
Now she’s living the life
even if everything’s not right,
and there will always be things out of place.
She knows that her daughter
will never know her father,
but will still be met with her warm embrace.
She tells her in a whisper
of everything about her,
and of the love that cannot be erased.
Yes, this love cannot be erased.
