Only a mother will ever know,
How hard they are born,
How fast they grow.
Only a mother will ever see,
...

Quietly....
You need not hurry now.
Sleep peacefully.
The rushing pace of life is over.
...

There was no magic flute
To pipe his way,
Though he had far to go.
No sunset wanderings,
...

"I want you" softly whispered.
"Yours I'll be", she said.
Two arms around her circled
And carried her to bed.
...

I take your face in my two hands
And I stare deeply into your eyes.
But you aren't there.
Love you less, I never could.
