If there were any words to find <br />For what you mean to me my Mother <br />If there was a dollar for every time <br />That you loved me like no other <br />If there were anyone who e'er was blind <br />To my faults… 'twas you, small wonder! <br />If there's any doubt you're one of a kind <br />You're laughter drowns its sound like thunder. <br /> <br />If I could replicate just one more heart <br />That touched the world like yours <br />I'd have to pass through that celestial arch <br />And steal it away from Christ the Lord <br />But I could not tote but a little part <br />Of what's bigger than the ocean's roar… <br />So I'll simply practice your magic art <br />Of making keys to every other heart's door. <br /> <br />For who could have taught me patiently <br />The many truths a child must learn <br />Tending to me from seed to tree <br />In whose twigs the fire of wisdom burns <br />Your beauty now in my children seen <br />Who like me in their own turn… <br />Will love others bigger than the sea... <br />Just as you lived on your earthly sojourn.<br /><br />Little Eagle McGowan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/if-there-were-any-words-to-find/
