Mother, I want to rest in your hugs, I have gone blind searching for your touch. My ears are burning, could you soothe it with your sweet hums? I yearn to be next to your heart, O mother, just like my brothers and little sisters. Your lap cradles them to sleep with a smile so pure I almost melt— but when I lay my head, frustration fills your eyes. I wish I could be one of them whom you love.

One of Them
Mother, I want to rest in your hugs, I have gone blind searching for your touch. My ears are burning, could you soothe it with your sweet hums? I yearn to be next to your heart, O mother, just like my brothers and little sisters. Your lap cradles them to sleep with a smile so pure I almost melt— but when I lay my head, frustration fills your eyes. I wish I could be one of them whom you love.
