A Mothers Song
By Tilly Rivers


Who will write a mothers song?
The sweetest melody
Who will spin the words?
Who?

Who will put the laughter in the tune?
Or the ache of her arms wishing for a child long grown
Who will be able to express the pride?
Who?

Who will know the pain inside?
When a child cries
When they write a mothers song
Who?

Who knows the depth?
Could possibly explain
The love from a child’s cuddle
Who?

Who will write a mothers song?
The sweetest melody
Reflecting the simple joys
Who?

Who will find the musical notes?
That would match a child’s eyes
A song that will fly
Who?

Who will write a mother’s song?
Who could possibly master the over whelming love, worry, pain, and joy
A song that lifts and heals the soul
Who?
