Mother

Mother look into my eyes once more
and keep this light inside your heart
when I must walk out this door,
I am a lonely child, lost in the dark
Mother, when you read these words,
I am fighting to survive far away
in lands you’ve never heard,
don’t touch, these hands have slayed
Mother, when you cry over me,
your tears will cool the desert sun,
and where they fall grows a tree,
forgive me all the bad I have done,
that I bowed to fear in death’s face
Mother, on the battlefield I want to stay,
a broken soul in a torn place
and when they lay
my shattered bones to rest,
in your memory I’ll be your hero,
no more and no less
