Mothers tether

Mothers tether,
From before the light of birth
we are attached.
A connection that
Is both invisible and invincible.
It knows no distance.
Pull it, there is no break.
And if lost
the tether will lead you home again.
Mother's tether,
Broadcaster of scraped
Knees and broken hearts
She stands poised
spider like
To ward off the shadow beasties that haunts our childhood dreams.
And as the dusk of mother's light
fades into a blue velvet night,
the tether will never break
Mother's tether
Sinewy cord attached
To loves martyred heart.
