All Mother

in poetry •  6 years ago 

The tears of the unwanted children
down my heart in sorrows
Their cries echo endlessly
in my bone marrow

My soul yearns to love them
steal them from the cradle
before the world can touch them
to give them a life sure and stable

My mind knows this is impossible
though I have the spiritual strength
unfortunately, to fully embrace them
my arms simply lack the length
