A Mother's Tears < !signature-->Many are they a mother's tears Ripping her soul for us to hear Life she gives, love she needs Through hurt and pain she endures And permits the call of nature To tear away at her muscles Many a night she stumbles From barely a moment's sleep To be suckled by tender sobbing lips Days of tears as house empties Long nights, no calls many worries She is woman, she is strength She is also gentle and needs love Many battles she will fight She may lose some along the way But the one she never loses Is the yearning for her child To embrace her with thanks Let the tears stop, let mothers Rejoice with love and compassion From all of us their children She is our beginning Her love is neverending She is the earth's most beautiful flower Her tears must cease now and forever. Respond to my call and let the waves of my heart fill your life with the wonders of love (Daniel J D) [This message has been edited by Daniel J D (edited 11-29-2000).] |

this poem made me cry, because I have been a mother who lost a child and the memories are wonderful and also because I am expecting again in January and the reminder of what is to come is great. Thank you for this great tribute to all mothers. |

Lovebug, Mothers are the most precious people in our lives. We have to show them we love them. Startime, You have every right to be biased. Your role as a mother is what keeps the smiles on peoples faces. Soozieque, I am sorry this poem made you cry, but the tears you shed are real expressions of your appreciation for being a mother. I am saddened at your loss. May the new bub bring you much happiness. Respond to my call and let the waves of my heart fill your life with the wonders of love (Daniel J D) |

I am moved by this one. Thank you so much for posting it. What is that you express in your eyes? It seems to me more than all the words I have read in my life. Walt Whitman |

Oh, yes......my Mom has "skipped out with the angels" and I can't tell her I am sorry for the tears I caused by just not taking the time to say "I love you". I wish I had the time over again! The words are wonderful and my tears may wash away some of the guilt. Thanks, ME |
