Analysis of Mother
Mitch Hagen 1992 (Vancouver)
Her love is so deep
Her bond is so strong
With you she will weep
And sing her favorite song.
Her will cannot be broke
Her silence hides her tears
She'll tell a funny joke
She never shows no fear.
Her family admires her greatly
Her soul touches their hearts
She wonders as of lately
When will her soul depart.
Her fear is not death
Her fear lies with regret
Will her very last breath
Leave her family in debt.
Her last words are clear
Her voice steady and calm
She couldn't be more sincere
"I'll always be your mom."
