A Mother's Love

A Mother's Love

She left you one morning
She had no choice
In a country of millions
She had just one voice

The law made it clear
One child would do
To obey it would mean
No hope for you

As she laid you down
Her eyes became blurried
On saying goodbye
Said don't you worry

Another will come
To take my place
A mother will come
From a different race

She'll hold you and love you
As if you're her own
She'll take you away
To a brand new home

She then ran away
Her heart broke in two
Don't ever forget
Of my love for you
