Mother's Love

I have heard the same song

She sang over and over      

I never tire of it 

Although I admit

It was a little out of tune

I still hear her laughter  

From long ago

It echoes in my ears

And comfort me

I realized now

There was pain and suffering

Behind her laughter

And the happy song she sang

Had a sad undertone

Yet her song and laughter

Infused with her love

Have the power

To travel through time

And warm up 

My winter-bound heart
