A Mother

A Mother


The first time i heard your cry
The sweetest melody to my ear
The first step you took
How proud i stood

Your first words
Sweeter than honey

How grown up you are
Standing tall
Standing proud

Then the news came
You were arrested for drugs

I bowed my head in shame
Thinking where did i go wrong
Not realising
It was never my choice to make

What i have taught you
And what you have learned
Combined you made the choice
To live your own life

All that I am
And all I can ever be
Is a Mother
Praying for her child.
