Lyric Card from Celine Dion's song:
"Goodbye's the Saddest Word I ever knew" |
Rejection is always a possibility
You can be conceived
And the body rejects you
You can be born
And your parents reject you.
Unconditional love is a possibility
From the mother that kept you
And shares her vitality with you
From a world that receives you
And welcomes you into its fold
Rejection is life's constant
It campaigns to people
Insisting that you are not one of them
It loiters the halls of your life
Repeatedly resisting you in rooms
Unconditional love is a shield
Granted by your mother
Because you can always come home
It protects your heart and mind
Just because she is there
This Lyric Card explores how a mother's unconditional love protects you from a world constantly in the process of rejecting you and keeping you out. It is a reminder of how I could always come back home to my mother no matter how the world had rejectd me that day. Now that she has passed, I cannot help but long for that protection and the relief and joy of coming home to her. All that is left is a reminder that I was loved unconditionally by my mother.
