LIGHT A CANDLE

I yearn to hold you in my bosom,

I long to cradle you in my arms,

I desire the cuddle and hugging

That was once part of our living.

I yearn to hear your pearly laughter

That comes our of ever batter

I wish to see the stars again in those eyes

That spoke volumes of love at every glance.

But now my son you seem so far

Removed from the love we once shared

Drawn away by tugs and mind twisting fix

That shuts out feelings and reality.

I will however keep a candle lit day and night

Pray you hear your mother’s cry for you

To turn from the grips of demons and pains

Into the warm bosom of my fluttering heart.
