Our Mother

 
She brought into this world
Two daughters and a son
Before her life had ended
And ours had just begun
 
The longing in our hearts
The tears that we cried
Three devastated lives
On the day our mother died
 
Like little lost souls
Through life we would go
Our mother's loving touch
Never would we know
 
For fate had not a plan
In those lonely years ahead
Spent searching for the answers
To things she left unsaid
 
Destined for a purpose
Each of us has grown
Clinging to a memory
Of a mother we've never known
