A woman gave part of her soul <br />That the being she created could be whole <br />Then having physical and spiritual form <br />As the sun arose a child was born. <br />And with this gift was forged a bond <br />To last through life, and far beyond. <br /> <br /> <br />So many times within life's span <br />The darkness coils around the man <br />But, within the man, the child has hope <br />And, reaching out, his fingers grope <br />To touch his soul, the spark is there <br />To link with one who'll always care.<br /><br />Irene C S ClarkHogg<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-mother-s-gift/
