A Mother's Tears (by Karyn's mum Carol) Tears cannot console a mother's grief, Crying will not ease the aching void, That now replaces the part that was her, But love must try to take that place, Memories of her, growing from a child to a beautiful woman, Then, going away, so far away. But coming back again, at last. To the loving place we knew had been there all the time. Now she has the peace that the world could not give.
