"A Room With Her Name"
The void that you left,
as you walked out the door.
Left the babes of your womb,
with no arms to secure.
Little girls with no mother,
who teaches them how to fly.
In the days of their growing,
as they chase butterflies.
In the year of your leaving,
you left a child only three.
And a small infant in diapers,
that would one day dream dreams.
Though we can never imagine,
what would cause you to go.
And leave the seeds of your youth,
without a mother to know.
For there’s One in the heaven’s,
that heard the voice of their cries.
And sent the hands of His leading,
to dry the tears from their eyes.
The child who was most needy,
would find a place in the arms.
Of a woman who’d love her,
and would shelter from harm.
She’s not her mother by birth,
but she loves just the same.
For in the heart of this mother,
was a room with her name!
To my precious Pinki who has filled my
world with more joy than she will ever
know. You are my gift from the Lord as
surely as if I had given birth to you myself!!!
