THE CORD

We are connected,

My child and I

By an invisible cord

Not seen by the eye.

It's not like the cord

that connected us 'till birth.

This cord can't be seen

By anyone on earth.

This cord does its work

Right from the start

It bonds us together

Attached at the heart.

I know that it's there

Though no one can see

The invisible cord

From my child to me.

The strength of the cord

It's hard to describe

It can't be destroyed

It can't be denied

It's stronger than any cord

Man could create

It withstands the test,

can hold the weight

And though you are gone,

Though you're 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

As never before

I am thankful that God

connects us this way

A mother and a child

Death can't take it away.
