soft tears
fall
from your eyes
at night
'cause you worry
about your
growing
babies all the time
and you wonder
if they'll be okay
~*~*~*~*~
maybe i'll whisper this to you:
(we'll be okay
we'll be okay
time to sleep
mother
time to sleep)
~*~*~*~*~
shaking and screaming inside
when they make mistakes
and it's hard to let
them know the truths of life
and the harshness
of the world
til they know for themselves
so you sit
and you worry
and you sit
and you cry
wondering if they appreciate
you
and all that you try to do
~*~*~*~*~*~
maybe i'll just whisper this to you:
(we appreciate
every word you say
every breath you take
you're our mother
our mother
our womb of support
during childhood
adolescence
and into our futures)
our mother
our mother
the best mother
you could be
the best mother
ever
my mom
our mother
softly and gracefully
giving us love
when we want to cry out
all our hatred
for the world
softening our hearts
to all the beauty
God granted this earth
and you
you show us strength
every day
even when you don't know it
we see it
thriving in you
NOTE: I'm aware of the changing between "they" and "we" ... does it work?? Let me know... I think I made it work by putting borders between the two tenses... but tell me what you guys think.
