A Mother’s Cry

I see you and hear you
As you wipe those tears from your eyes.
You walk through this world pretending no one 
Sees the heartache and pain because you see
You decide to take on the stress of the world.
Why do you take on this type of pain?
When you have someone higher that can take your pain.
I see you, mother, do you see you too?
I assume not because you lost your way 
When you felt that pain
So, I say to you wipe those tears and find yourself
Because the pain that you bear 
Is the pain from your hurting son.
So I say wipe away those tears because the tears you cry today is the tears of strength, wisdom, and love so you can find your way.




I would like to thank you for taking the time to read this poem as we all had seen someone in our lives go through a rough patch. A place where we are not able to take on their pain but, can only watch from an outward perspective. This poem is Dedicated to my son. I would also like to thank Dorrance Publishing for allowing me to publish this poem in my book “You and I Inspired Me”.
