~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 'til birth 
This cord can't be seen 
By any on Earth. 
This cord does it's 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 
Is 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, 
Though you're 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 am thankful that God 
Connects us this way 
A mother and child Death can't take it away!
