Mothers Find Their Happiness in Seeing
Hear me read the poem as an MP3 file
Alpha List
Mothers find their happiness in seeing
Others happy. Is this good or wise?
To hang one's happiness upon a being,
However loved, who sees through other eyes?
Even as such love may be a burden,
Remember well what lies behind the curtain,
Singing down through angel-freighted skies.
