Mothers

Mothers

To hold to breast
Thy babe in arms
Eyes locked
One to the other 

A moment extended
Forever in birth
Eternity's child
Eternal mother

So close to hold
That spark so dear
In a moment gone
Yet forever near

No mouth can say
Nor mind express
A mothers love
Has no redress

As he that givith
And taketh away
Such bittersweet blessing
Brooks no delay

Yet she abides 
Gods beckon call
Knowing her son
Lies still

To know is not
To understand
Though subject
To gods will

No mouth can say
Nor mind express
A mother's pain
Has no redress

That life she carried
Is not undone
This mothers son is now on high
The one who believes in me shall live 
Even though they die
