I Saw Her
I saw her sitting on the park bench -
A small child playing at her feet.
I saw her give her meager meal
To the youngster she thought so sweet.
I saw her kiss her child
Who came to her crying.
I saw the tears she shed
When she caught her child lying.
I saw her trade her youth
For selfless years of service.
I saw her teach the child
Throughout years of patience.
I saw her raise her dimmed eyes to see
The child she adored -
Was me.
