The Cord

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 connects us 'til birth.

This cord can't be seen

By any on Earth.

This cord does its work

Right from the start.

It binds us together

Attached to my 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

Is 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'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 child

Death can't take it away!
