Within the woman she carries stories untold,
to give to her children to help them grow.
Like the butterflies in the fog they drift on her mind,
until her reflection is seen through her child in time.
If this can not be and she finds herself alone,
she goes through pain for she without children in her home.
Asking the Lord who she will tell her stories to,
and within the mist he replies to all you will amuse.
I took in a deep breath and the tears ceased to fall,
and upon the mist there was children's laughter wall to wall.
A smile etched my lips and in that moment I knew,
so many children are without love so that is what I would do.
Free I am this day with a giving heart and soul,
something a lot of mothers refuses to show.
I see the lost angels and help them grow.
Author notes
Through their eyes they speak to me as through my eyes the love they do see so a smile and a whisper and protection I give and this I will do for as long as I live

This is a wonderful, and different take on the pic. I enjoyed it immensely.
"I took in a deep breath and the tears seized to fall,"
Should it read "I took in a deep breath and the tears ceased to fall?"
Good luck in the contest. Well done.
Be well,
Slayer
