The stings of a whip,
The ease of a mother's hug,
The pain of a bruise,
The calming of a her love,

The pinch of another child,
The demanding of her voice,
The screaming of a broken bone,
The calming of her love,

The begging to be loved,
The warmth of her arms,
The sickness that overcome us,
The sound of her footsteps in a run,

But yet is a mother's love not enough for us?
