This 'mother love'
for you, sweet one,
will never ever end,
You are the glory,
and I now tell the story
of a wonderful child
who is my dear friend...
we loved long ago
before crying began.
I carried you in my
secret place, until my
hand took your hand,
and together through
the land we wandered.
So never ignore me,
for you are my glory.
Thou art my child ~
and alone for thee
I will fend until my
life's end.
Joyce Hemsley
