A Mothers unseen tears
A tightening feeling hits me in the chest,
As a mother I thought I'd done my best.
I have always tried to be strong,
Teaching my kids right from wrong.
Was my best just not good enough?
Should I have been a bit more tough?
Now my chest has a feeling of forever aching,
My heart is slowly painfully breaking.
Tears of pain and anguish go unseen,
As I quietly weep behind the scenes.
Having a child take the wrong path in life,
Cuts through a mother's heart like a knife.
My eyes well up with silent tears,
My heart fills with uncontrollable fears.
Those tears still remain unseen,
Always hidden behind the scenes.
