She looks with compassionate eyes
Tender but strong
Beautiful and worn
She smiles, tears flowing down her cheek
Painful longing turns
Joy dispels despair
Her child looks up with delicate eyes
Playful but wise
Loving and fond
Her child smiles, cheeks rosy with revere
Contentment turns to adoration
Life becomes celebration
Grace lifts her child near her face
Affection becomes embrace
Lush love pauses life's race
