the tear of a mother's eye when you return
the warm glow
of her heart
like a bright
amber light
with so much
love and hope
did you feel
as it dimmed
the hand that
held you
with so much
calm and care
did you try to reach
as it slipped away
that time
the tear in her eye
of pain
of sorrow
so sad
that time
i also left
for a life
far and long
away
i returned one day
to reach her way
but the hand was weak
and the eyes were lost
and the heart was faint
and she did not know me
but i know her now
more than in my
younger days
i hope
you find your way back
and
she is there
and can know
you came
the more we live we know
all that was not good
can be forgotten
