The Cord

We are connected

My child and I, by

An invisible cord

Not seen my the eye.

It's not like the cord

That connects us at birth

This cord can't be seen

By any on earth.

This cord does it's work

Right from the start

It binds us together

Attached to my heart.

I know that it's there

Though no one can see

The invisible cord

From my child to me.

The strength of this cord

It's hard to describe

It can't be destroyed

It can't be denied.

It's stronger then any cord

Man could create

It withstands the test

Can hold any weight.

And though you are gone

And your not here with me

The cord is still there

But no one can see.

It pulls at my heart

I am bruised, I am sore

But this cord is my lifeline

As never before.

I'm thankful that God

Connects us this way

A mother and child

Death can't take it away!
