[dedicated to my mother, whose heart is beautiful]

Give me a mother’s heart, oh Lord,
That loves deeper than roots of self,
That dreams impossibilities and by dreaming aloud
Inspires children to fly.

A heart that is fearless—protecting her own.
A heart that is gentle, constant, and knows
That giving herself for others is love.
