Mothers Hear
When your fledgling heart is breaking
and tears silently start to fall...
mothers hear.
When you whisper of secret loves
suppressing muffled cries of joy...
mothers hear.
When lies are rehearsed in your mind,
and before you utter a word...
mothers hear.
When you struggle to stifle screams,
entombed in a cone of silence...
mothers hear.
When you learn to laugh at yourself
and take life less seriously...
mothers hear.
When you mumble, I love you, Mom,
and the words come straight from your heart...
mothers hear.
