Those tears from veins
Zaps the life out of the womb
Squeeze the blood from the heart
Shrink the womb and make it squeak
Those are tears from a Mother for her infant
II
Those tears without brakes
Break the brakes and kill hope straight,
Cover the sky to block its light
Like doom, rain torrents of whipping tears
So you feel the heavens need you weeping
Tears from a Mother for her infant
III
My Kay
Come what may
I’ll always say
It’s okay
Once you smile in good health everyday
This is the wish from a Mother to her lovely born

Yes, the most painful thing, I always say is for a mother to see her child in bad health. It is amazing but that was the only situation I found myself which made me cry from my soul, making me experience pain at its highest level. I don’t know why I’m remembering it today, when it’s been over a year. I don’t wish that kind on any mother, not even my worse enemy. Thank you Marissa.

Oh goodness! It definitely is a traumatic experience and I’m sure a cause for pain for so many mothers going through something like that. It’s no wonder it would come out in your art. I’m glad it is a memory today!
