For What She Doesn't See
For told my mother's truth,
but once she mustn't lie.
She lost us once and can't regain,
for the youngest can't hear her cry.
A mother's lost fom long ago,
will now bring up all as fast.
To her she feels that love is strong,
but not strong enough to forgive.
A mother's word was shattered back,
and yet still can't hold the hurt.
For long ago she still hangs on,
the oldest to the youngest.
A mother's arm is like a rope,
that leads to mangled, strangled and beaten.
