Mother and Daughter Tears Are Cried

Mother I see your strength
It makes me cry
If you don't see a tear
It is because I cry inside

Mother I see your weakness
It makes me cry
If you don't see a tear
It is because I cry inside

Daughter I look forward
To where you will be
Knowing you carry
The best of me

My strength and weakness
Are part of you
You will sense
Their presence
In all you do

I hear your silent cries
We are joined together
In the places we hide

Our hearts are
Bound together
In mutual pride
As we cry
Side by side
