I love to see the smile on her face that shines in her eyes
Hear the laughter and music in her voice as she exudes happiness
The feeling that all is well in her life that strife away from her flies
Such beauty from the inside out that leaves a glow to her flesh

Then the othe side is shown a smile under sad sad eyes
No laughter no happiness only a smile and the music all gone
And she fights to keep from smothering as from her heart she dies
The summer is almost over her babies care to others begins a death song

Oh how I wish to take this look of pain from her so white face
By some magic give what every parent would gladly pass on
She is doing her best to face the cold winter days with grace
No one can take this load from her slim shoulders after all is said and done

lets pray for a warm winter of compromise...
perhaps fall will bring some healing change  of season
touching poem of a mothers heart ME
hugs to all involved.

Feels like Im dancin with truth and wisdom
Precious rhythm you are my guide
These days are sacred, my heart is humble
Oh warrior show me thy light

Summer's end used to only mean the end to
staying up late, watching fire flies dance
at night and a beginning of homework and
class parties...now it means so much
more...Thank you mom...I love you and I know
it hurts for you too~

Butterflies, my kid, and this too will pass. Maybe some day we will think these were the good old days.  Another prayer.....

Tracie, Too many others have "been there".  Oh, how I wish it wasn't so.
