The Hidden Mother

I see you and you do not know it, I watch you and you do not see me.  I don't want you to.  It is better for you if you if you never know me as who I really am.  When I do get a glimpse of  you, my heart leaps for joy for the gift of holding you with my eyes, because I know I will never hold you with my Mothers arms.  I am so proud of you, but I can never tell you that.  The best thing I can do for you is be hidden, loving and praying for you.  If who I am to you is every revealed, God will have to do it for I never will.  I am....
