about
Written for the 2015 Filk Ontario song contest "Silver". I had been trying to write a song about my mother for years. With the subject word, it finally gelled. Bari and I had always wanted to go to Filk Ontario and so Aidan and I went. He was 2 months old - his first convention, and first international trip.
lyrics
A teacher near four decades, she touched so many lives,
Inspiring generations and helping them to strive,
To unlock the potential of each mind.
Facing heartbreak when stuck down my father was by cancer,
She never lost her faith, even when she held no answers,
Helping each of us some joy to find.
Silver is - the voice that soothed my childhood fears.
Silver is - the love with which she gently dries my tears.
Silver is the wisdom shining from her kindly eyes.
Silver is the light she shares, love uncompromised.
Joy and sorrow, laughter, grief all etched upon her face,
This lovely woman I call mom, the epitome of quiet grace,
A stronger woman I have never known.
And she's always been there for me, support which never waivers,
Ever am I gratefully so proud to be her daughter,
Guiding me no matter where I roamed.
Silver is - the voice that soothed my childhood fears.
Silver is - the love with which she gently dries my tears.
Silver is the wisdom shining from her kindly eyes.
Silver is the light she shares, love uncompromised.
I know one day I'll lose her, in this circle that is life.
And on that day the grief will cut me like a jagged knife,
And yet I will still pray thankfully.
For the many mothers in this world, both noble and fine,
Of all of them, I was blessed, that Mary Lund was mine,
Her example of loving selflessly.
Silver is - the voice that soothed my childhood fears.
Silver is - the love with which she gently dries my tears.
Silver is the wisdom shining from her kindly eyes.
Silver is the light she shares, love uncompromised.
Yes, silver is my mother's life, love uncompromised.
