I drew inspiration from the events of this week one evening. I was lying in my room and thinking about what all we had experienced when the words just began flowing: “I’ll love you forever,” some mothers will say But sometimes that is just how it goes I did not mean to leave you alone all this day But the heart of a child knows “This mess is your fault, I wish you weren’t here This isn’t the life that I chose. I’m stuck raising you, through all of MY tears” But the heart of a child knows What life do they have when mom says that she’s through Another child to the system she bestows “You’ll like the kids here, they are all just like you.” But the heart of a child knows Now we can all help, we can break through that shell The attention we give to them shows Though our skin might be different, our cultures as well Still the heart of a child knows Love matters the most when it’s given to others And through time it continually grows ‘Til finally one day she will call YOU her mother Because the HEART of a child knows.
