Mother's Touch

Just close your eyes and concentrate

Let the world around you dissipate

That’s when you can reach it if you try

It’s in your mind that you can really fly

*

The comfort of the touch of a mother

The love you had was like none other

Back to that place in time

Worries were free, and life was sublime

Take me back to the last place I felt safe

To a time when I didn’t have to be brave

Before I knew the troubles of this land

And a mother’s touch felt so grand

Before I knew a mother could hurt

Before I found myself face down in the dirt

For her love would soon after spoil

And my hopes and dreams would recoil

*

But if I just close my eyes, find that focal point

I feel her touch and not the disappoint

In my mind, I can find that time and disappear

To where I’m not in charge and have nothing to fear
