That Maternal Touch

For Marion & Joan

 

 

Two mothers

Now since past

One birth, one adoptive

Both mother’s love is first-class

 

My birth mother

I never knew

My adoptive mother

Yeah, I miss her too

 

I feel the need to tell them

I love them so much

Feel their embrace

That maternal touch

 

I don’t know

The reasons why

Our lives led by destiny or chance

Where we end up by-and-by

 

But one thing for certain

One thing for sure

Love stays with you

As you feel its signature

 

A mother’s touch

Of undying love

Within and all around you

Not just from above
