and my mother heart is glad

and the house is full again
and we two are once more
four
and my mother heart
is glad
and the two once
just a handful
have become more than
I can hold
and my hands are filled
to overflowing
and my mother heart
is glad
and these two
so precious
more man than child
yet always my child
having become more than
I can hold
still fill my heart exactly
and my mother heart
is glad
and the rooms are filled
with their presence
and my arms are filled
with their touch
and hugs and love
are still precious
and my mother heart
is glad
