Mommy

I see her smile
I see her cry
I see her hurt
Brown Eye'd sunshine.
I've seen her heart get ripped and torn
People have passed, so we can mourn.
Life is Easy when happiness is close
With family, friends, and love, and hope.
But when the days of smiles are gone
The tears have fallen
The pain left marks
The hurt still hurts
The tears still damp
The people are equal from pain they have felt
Pain is alive between you and myself
Though some of us distant, all of us different,
our pain will be hidden, locked away in our prison.
Our joy must be little when Thoughts must be many
but thoughts never stop, joy does, pain is envied.
And pain is given.
Pain doesn't heal,
But pain doesn't mention
That new pain blocks out the old pain.
A time will come where all this will change
We won't be entangled, they've loosened our chains.
We can now break away, and find a new life
Be confident today and tomorrow is bright.
I have grown into something that I wasn't before
My mom opened windows, I chose to open doors.
She showed me my heart
God let it soar
I wish I went through the window,
But Pain has been born.
So I will grow old, Watching it progress.
Watching it mature, building the stress.
But My mother, Will Always Be Strong.
