Our Mother.

How well do You know your mother

I ask you, 

In daylight hours she is there

In darkness too,

How well do you know our mother

I ask you,

I've watched her tears falling

The crashing of clouds in anger, sadness

I've felt the warmth of her breathing

In gladness

I ask you, how well

Do you know our mother

About birth

This magical place, our earth

How long shall you keep them, the souls

The lost

What cost to define them, confined

ARE them

Her children, her love

Her living

Forgotten never, forgiving?
