Tears of a Mother

Dedicated to my mother.

When a mother cries,
      Her tears are felt
Deep down by her child.
     Tears of a Mother.

She cries only out of pain,
      For her other will never again
Come around
      Tears of a Mother

As she cries, silently to herself.
       Her child cries too,
She cries because she doesn't know,
       The pain of a Mother.

As each tear plummets to the ground,
       Each one stabs at her child's heart.
Because she doesn't understand,
        The pain of a Mother.

She falls to the ground
        With her face in her hands.
Trying not to show,
         Tears of a Mother.

Once her tears cease,
         What remains is love.
The love shared between mother and child.
          This is tears of a Mother.
