Mother of Mankind

12 April 2006


At night it was mourning
a sadness lost upon time
As to the passing days
where summer was no more

To run that race of birth
and live, oh to live each moment
This life of giving her soul in kind
every year another to add in age

Who would say
they would never be
A mother of mankind
her birth peopled to the world

Teardrops upon a graven stone
ashes unto ashes in hope forever
Never again, but always was
this love she gave to eternity


a poet who cares
