Fay Slimm - A Mother's Plea

Caught in the middle
Of love strong-as-death
Waiting forever
For signs of redress.


Heavy with longing
Heart full of prayer
Always seem facing
This burden of care.


Split down the middle.
Heart torn in two.
Feeling it's breaking
At times, over you.


Each day of living
Maternal hope brings
Yearning for healing
'Bove all other things.


Strongest of love-ties,
Motherhood's tears.
Relentlessly falling
As love survives years.


Look homeward again.
Sense welcome and love
Child of my deepest
Affection - come home.
