Mother Dear

Oh Mother Dear you left this life two years passed,
Oh mother Dear you never asked,
What was wrong, why was I sad,
Why dear mother do I feel so bad.

Your not here for me to ask,
Your long gone now, reduced to ash.
I never felt the love I should,
I only know that now if I could.
I would hold and hug you very tight,
But no I cannot, not tonight.

For you have gone and never knew,
What made me sad, and still makes me blue.
After five girls you had a son.
Oh mother Dear what have I done.

With joy and happiness you gave David his name,
But from this male Femina came.
Another daughter but one so strange,
Born a boy with a need to change.

But in this change there is so much pain,
I look around for one to blame.
But there is none only me,
I write this poem, in hope you'll see,
My pain and sadness, my heart so dark,
And from beyond the grave you'll talk,
Say to me. "Your are my girl,
You were a boy in a different world.
And from where I look down from up above,
From Mother Dear, my child, all my love."

Femina (Latin for woman)
