To be a Mother

Today I had to tell you truths

Though painfull as it may, they were things I had to say

To be a mother is to be a guide

To protect, there are some things a mother just can not hide

Now I search your eyes for that child-like glow

Without any tears in your eyes, I watch your sorrow flow

So young to have to learn of this worlds' demise

Too young to understand the how's and why's

If only to take it all away,

Give you back your child-like ignorance,

Save reality for another day
