Are We Our Mothers’ Sons?
There’s not a force more powerful than amother’s love, a gift they are given by thepowers above.
A love travelling faster than the speedof sound, providing security when they’renot around.
A love warm with comfort that keeps usalive, giving us meaning as westruggle and strive.

A love shining so bright from the furthesttower — we all need such light during ourdarkest hour.
We must harness her love and allow it toheal — but it takes conviction and courage toalign with her will.
They are always our mothers, but are we alwaystrue sons? Only when thathappens will the job be well done.
