for my mother and her heart
My mother's tears make me feel helpless
now that i'm a mother I know what
it is to shed them alone in the middle of the night
But my mother's tears are not always visible
yet I know inside, she's crying
I know I could bring her comfort
if she would share her sorrow
She's so concerned that I have my own problems
always thinking about others, always listening
to my issues, when I know she needs her quiet time
I talk and talk so maybe she'll be encouraged
to share her pains with me
but she keeps it in, almost like she needs
her tears...like they soothe her heart
I've thought she kept them hidden in order to protect
something... someone...
My mother's tears fall from her heart
and I got close enough to hold her in my arms
and felt it beating slower...slower...
almost like something inside was dying
I kissed her, and she smiled and pulled away
so she could keep on crying
SWT
