Ma Knew It
Ma Knew It
Her eyes
Showed
She was sad
I could see
It on her face
But the reason
I knew not
Thought a lot
& then I asked
"Mom, what's wrong?"
Smiled
&
She said
"Everything is perfect."
But I was sure
Through her
Sad eyes
Something she was
Surely hiding
I asked
Again & Again
She assured
All was well
But she was upset
She was sad
She had sensed
Dark clouds
All over us
Those dark days
Came & went
Then Ma said
It was this
Tornado in our lives
That I was fearing that day
It came
See I sensed it right
I am your Ma
& nothing can be hidden
From my sight
I understood
That day
What her eyes said
I hugged her tight
And thanked God
For His best blessing
In life I had.
