Once upon a time

On a chance I’ll never get

I’m going to tell your children

Of the mother they never met

 

A mother I knew as a girl

A mother before her time

A mother of such love and passion

When she was a girl of mine

 

When the mother that is now

Was only yet to be

Was always to be a mother

Yet always that girl to me

 

Flawless in her countenance

Honest in her words

Forward in her thinking

Her beauty undisturbed

 

The girl would never leave

Yet a mother she would be

She is today as she always was

An angel perfectly
