Mother

Anxious about how things will turn out,
at age and time when Mother could't tell
as she could in '79.

The questions were essentially the same -
calming the worried heart, building the wall,
alienation in far land.

Answers about being trusting and righteous
when it all seemed like a walk,
on ice so thin.

A piece each kept with the past muses,
mother, will she understand your baby
could live no different.

Mother do you think they'll like these words?
