The beating heart cries



The beating heart cries
For a beloved mother true,
That the Almighty Artist drew
Even as a divine soul dies

Never was a father created so nice
On the earth and in the heavens blue
His love is eternal and sustaining through
Brimming like an ocean that never dries

Nine months plus of loving care begins
Years of guidance and  support to follow
Father's heart melts even as he grins
Mother's love seems  matchless in flow
Words of truth,  God I do not mince
Tears unabated rush forth as  mother lets go
