Silence

May 9, 2014

So much depends upon

The childs cries

His silent aches

A mothers anguish

 

Silence

Complete silence

Why is there such silence?

 

A mothers soul breaking cries

As the child lies still

Still as stone

His cries forever muffled

Cries never to be heard again

Yet always to be rememberdd

 

In the mothers heart,

The cries are heard

In her eyes,

The pain is seen

 

The childs sorrow is forever gone

As she takes her last breath

Silence
