I may have bore them

inside of me

dried their first tears

met all their needs

taught right from wrong

and what is false from what is true

 

In this world

no love surpasses

the profound love

that a mother has

but I know no one loves them more than You do

 

Past curfew hour

by the window

they’re not home

I start to tremble

unspeakable images cloud my thoughts

I start to fear

 

Then to my mind

I do remember

Your omnipresence

now I surrender

all my anxieties ‘cuz where they are,

You are near

 

As I release them

from my care

they are bathed

in my daily prayer

into a world so cold that does not know You

 

But You are able

to keep them grounded

in Your protective arms

they’ll be surrounded

because no one loves them more than You do
