The Heart of a Mother


Her arms may be empty
The tears flowing fast
She cries out from the barreness,
How long will this last?

Each month that passes,
Every test that's not blue,
Makes her ache to be a part of the masses
Wondering how long she'll ache for you.

Yet her waiting is not in vain,
Her mother's heart is being refined
She's learning to love with hope
Even if her womb is denied.

Her legacy is in her loving today,
In the way she tries again after each fall.
As she dreams for the future, answers today's call.
She knows that she has gifts and value, so today she gives her all.

Her pain is one we all can feel,
For each of us is tied to a mother.
We all weep in disappointment,
Every person longs for dreams made real.

Today let's let her know she is loved, no matter what happens tomorrow.
Her mother's heart is celebrated too.
In the way she embraces those around her,
Even as she waits for the new.
