LARMES de MERE (Tears of Mother)
Mother dearest, please!
May you never fret
Over me, your first born child
Who is furthest from you yet
Be cautious
Ne’er to do your worries in
But, accrue those drops of love
For never of the oldest were they meant
Save your heart
And hold those waters close for a time
So the youngest of familiar
Unto you they be kept
My own love
An offering that is only meant for them
As I make my way out
Into a cold cruel world
And I find myself free from all regret
What warmth is left
Spend upon my adoring sibs
Hold them tight
And oh, so close
As to feel that of caring breath
Think of me
In merely secret ways
If you must
To further nourish the others left
Securely within your nest
Oh, mother dearest
Your tears were never meant for me
But, I will only think of you
If I can
When nothing else is left
