Maternal Love, Speaks  

- Thomas E. Cassick -

I am the tear-drop  
that rolls down your cheek  
I am the silence  
between the words that you speak  
I am the desire  
that burns in your chest  
I am the passion  
that heaves in thy breasts  
I am the purpose  
that keeps you alive  
I am the reason  
mankind survives.

- Nothing else matters  
in this life that we live  
except for the love  
that a mother can give -
