mother's requiem


mother
gives life to everything
mother
answers to all your questioning

mother
is the blanket on every bed
mother
lights up what is darkened

mother
is the perfect note in a musical score
mother
cries for peace in a time of war

mother
brings hope in total despair
mother
wakes you from frightening nightmares

mother
is there when you are all alone
mother
governs the man on the throne

mother
heals every wound with a kiss
mother
knows what the truth of your story is

mother
has the job that is never done
mother
the biggest love of everyone
