POEM FOR CASSANDRA

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 this 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 any weight

And though you are gone
Though you are not here with me
The cord is still there
But no one can see
It pulls at my heart
I am bruised and I'm sore
But this cord is my lifeline
As never before

I am thankful that God
Connects us this way
A mother and Child
Death can't take it away
