You wish and hope, blinded by his attention.

Though harsh you crave, sweet light his dawn embrace.

I am ignored in a life complete by day’s duration.

You find your path by shadows fallen place.

 

When overhead his gaze is ever strong,

With melted wings you plummet like a stone.

As stars pursue their justice, he is gone.

No guardian should leave you all alone.

 

Near my earthly children, I have stayed.

Through dimmer light, my proudest smile relayed.

I wrote this for my mother. She's always there for me, as all mothers should be for their children.
