Hi,can anyone identify the name of the following poem (and poet),it
was featured in Comic Relief on Friday the 11th of March.The words are
as follows:

There are no words that I can say
To ease your pain right away
your failing dreams,your broken bones,
I have no words to change this day.

Helpless child,I'll hold your hand
and wipe your brow.
I'll wash away your every stain,all this pain
I will hold you in my arms again.

From your first breath,I loved you so
and with this love ,I'll let you go
now breath your last my precious child
It is time for me to guide you home. 
thanks for your help,Ali

Hello

I wrote this poem. I wrote it for a film calle "David" on this years
Comic Relief. It was a beautifully shot film, I wanted to convey the
private emotion between the mother and son.

I hope this helps. It has not been published. This is the first time
any of my poetry has come in to the public domain. I am glad that you
liked it.

Regards

Tim Lovell

The following is the correct wording of the poem. Your version was not
quite right. Please ammend your version. Many thanks indeed.



A Mothers Poem


There are no words that I can say to ease your pain or hide away 
You?re failing dreams, your broken bones, 
I have no words to change this day.

Helpless child I'll hold your hand and wipe your brow, 
I'll wash away your every stain, all this pain.  
I will hold you in mine arms again.

From your first breath I loved you so, and with this love I'll let you go. 
Now breathe your last my precious child, 
It is time for me to guide you home.

Hi Tim,thanks for your reply to my question.Your poem was one of the
most moving I have heard.Being a mother myself it made me empathise
completely with the mother in the clip.Thanks again,Ali

Thank you for your kind words.

the words of a mothers poem moved me to tears...it touched my
soul...beutiful.do you know what the music was that accompanied it, im
desperate to find it, i have wrote to comic relief but no replies!!
help.

Hi,I'm afraid I don't know the name of the music.Maybe Tim(the poet)
will know it. I'm sorry that I couldn't answer your question,Ali

Hi

The music used as underscore on the film 'David' was a track by Brian
Eno. It came from the Album: Apollo Atmospheres and soundtracks and I
think was track 5 'An Ending', although I can not quite remember.
However it certainly came from this album. Hope that this helps.
