THE CORD
WE ARE CONNECTED, MY CHiLD AND I,
BY AN INVISIBLE CORD, NOT SEEN WITH THE EYE.
IT'S NOT LIKE THE CORD THAT CONNECTED US TIL BIRTH.
THIS CORD ISN'T SEEN BY ANY ON EARTH.
THIS CORD DOES ITS WORK RIGHT FROM THE START;
IT BINDS US TOGETHER, ATTACHED TO MY HEART.
I KNOW THAT IT'S THERE, THOUGH NO ONE CAN SEE
THE INVISIBLE CORD FROM MY CHILD TO ME.
THE STRENGTH OF THIS CORD IS HARD TO DESCRIBE.
IT CAN'T BE DESTROYED, IT CAN'T BE DENIED.
IT'S STRONGER THAN ANY CORD MAN COULD CREATE.
IT WITHSTANDS ALL TESTS, IT CAN HOLD ANY WEIGHT.
AND THOUGH YOU ARE GONE AND NOT HERE WITH ME,
THE CORD IS STILL THERE, BUT NO ONE CAN SEE.
IT PULLS AT MY HEART, I AM BRUISED, I AM SORE.
BUT THIS CORD IS MY LIFELINE, LIKE NEVER BEFORE.
I FEEL YOU ARE WITH ME EACH STEP THAT I TAKE,
BOUND BY THE CORD THAT NO ONE CAN BREAK.
I AM THANKFUL DEAR GOD YOU CONNECTED US THIS WAY,
A MOTHER AND CHILD..........DEATH CAN'T TAKE THAT AWAY.
