"MAMA KNOWS"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Little one
Mama knows you are thirsty
Mama's milk won't flow
My love can't slake the longing
Mama knows...Mama knows
~
Little one
Mama knows that you are hungry
Mama hears your cries
My love can't fill your belly
Mama's tried...Mama's tried
~
Little one
Mama knows you are scared
Mama feels your fear
Mama's arms are safe and warm
Mama's here...Mama's here
~
LIttle one
Mama knows you are dying
Mama's dying, too
You won't take that step alone
Mama's coming with you
~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Stunningly powerful, Karla; and as many have already said, a true tear-jerker. And so tragic in this day and age that your scenario still occurs in our world.
