My Pain Once again it's thoughts o' motherhood Consumin' the moments o' my mind. I ponder the days o' your childhood Wond'rin' when things became so maligned. I curse the dreadful days o' darkness That stole adolescence 'way from you. The shadows o' your past loom heartless O'er an optimistic point o' view. You shared with me a glimpse o' the pain O' the life that you presently live. To chase far 'way the thunderous rain I've but a bit o' sunshine to give. Life I'd depart to erase the past That haunts the journey o' your future. The hope I hold in my heart is vast For our mother 'n' son adventure. Once again it's thoughts o' motherhood Consumin' the moments o' my mind. Somethin' ne'er to be misunderstood Is the peace in Heav'n we'll both find. © 2008 Ruth Cox
