I Remember Your Ways

I remember your ways I remember your ways Lullabies and prayers Sung to cradle me Offered to guard me Clinging to your sleeve I drifted to sleep then And now I do it Feeling your sleeve Behind the veil of the dark night I miss your cozy sleeve I remember your ways Lullabies and prayers Kind were those pair of eyes Love was that when you smiled Happiness was the scent you carried Every time you patted me to sleep I dreamt baby angels playing with me Now I sleep wishing to see Your face in my dreams I miss your subtle savor I remember your ways Lullabies and prayers Sitting on your lap I saw a big world Now leaning back on this arm chair I see the world shrunk to a table globe I was never hunger then Now but I crave to feel your love I miss your pacifying lap I remember your ways Lullabies and prayers Crying out in pain Never knew it was in vein Following the procession Oblivious of the desertion To the grave for a dark-faced woman Years later I realized was my mommy, Who was pretty in my memory Fair and gorgeous I remember your ways Lullabies and prayers Standing alone in front of your grave Holding your best-loved roses -dated forever-

I am overwhelmed with this gesture of love and appreciation...:)) I wrote it for someone who was very special once, for his mom who passed away when he was a baby..
