~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 at 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
It's 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
And you are 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'm thankful that God
Connects us this way,
A mother and a child
Death can't take it away!
