A mother strikes a willful child
Admonishing the young girl's tears
The mother's emotions run wild
Feeding her daughter's worst fears

Admonishing the young girl's tears
The mother's scars have yet to heal
Feeding her daughter's worst fears
Smiles and innocence she does steal

The mother's scars have yet to heal
She was once a daughter, too
Smiles and innocence she does steal
Steel grey eyes turn a woeful blue

She was once a daughter, too
Punished by her mother's hard hand
Steel grey eyes turn a woeful blue
Doesn't she have to reprimand?

Punished by her mother's hard hand
Pride and esteem that hand does slay
Doesn't she have to reprimand?
She knows not of another way

Pride and esteem that hand does slay
The mother's emotions run wild
She knows not of another way
A mother strikes a willful child

A timely reminder for me, if I do nothing else in this world right, I will raise my son, with all my love, all my soul and hints on life's lessons. Love not violence.
