Manic Depression

From Mother to Son

It was your birthday,The day you were bornNo words could be spokenWhat could I say?This bond couldn’t be brokenThere just was no wayWhen you first smiledI couldn’t speakAmazed at your wonderIn your crib I would peekI was your motherYour passage to lifeYet, I did not know youLike husband and wifeYou took in your own worldStayed close to mineI watched you with wantingWhat would you find?Joy everlastingLove and your wayKeeping an eyeWhile not blocking the wayI couldn’t tell youAll that would comeI just watched as you reachedFar from my wombA mother cannot let goHow hard tho’ they tryThey only pretendWhile keeping an eyeGuiding and hopingThat one day you’ll seeThe words kept and spokenWere just meant to beLight on the path to your futureThe safe road aheadThere is no way to tell youNow that you’re goneHow hard that I triedTo be the right oneThe one who could love youAnd let you be freeTo live your life fullyBut able to seeThat I was put on this earth for youFor eternityAnd now there is silenceSince you’ve gone awayNo music can help meNo words can one sayFor you are my babyMy love and my heartAnd now you’ve been takenHow do I start?To tell you I’m sorryMy words didn’t healThe burden you carriedThe way you did feelI’m hoping the windWill find you for meAnd tell you I miss youAnd how hard I triedThere are no more words nowJust how hard I’ve cried.
