Mine

There is not much I haven’t told you before

But I’m sure it won’t hurt to tell you again

Your love is a treasure I forever store

Far better the gold, sweeter then champagne

A warm embrace in stormy seasons

Calms the raging waves

Grey clouds part; your gentle voice as reason

Calling forth the sun’s rays

Rough and delicate hands have kept me nourished

A heart faithful and strong has let me flourish

I am but a reflection of your fruitful tree

With you I know the true meaning of free

Laugh, cry, I now have wings to fly

Into the wilderness overwhelmingly frightening

And I know I will still depend on you even then

When home seems so far away and life

A journey I can only reach you by pen

Your love will extend through all strife

Forever I shall be yours

Every embrace my loving sign

And forever beyond life’s many doors

a mother always mine
