Through My Baby Cries
When waters my eyes overflow
And I’m left feeling like a stomach with a heavy blow
When life’s hard knocks have left me in the deep blue
And the world brings me to my knees and leaves no clue
When my words lose meaning and are drowning in the crowds
You value my opinion and hear my inner thoughts
My journey has taken me like a river afar
Washed me like the oceans anew to a foreign shore
Like the nose knows the smell of the sea
I’m drawn home to your warm culinary
Only you remember me as a newborn
Love me still, even growing up as an insolent son
You have instilled in me atleast some of your grace
Patient through the years and the baby cries
Someday when my soul dies and I’m as old as my age
And mother’s day comes to find you still on this stage
I know I’ll feel alive through the love you fulfil
To this home you drew so beautiful
I know I’m welcome and can always claw back
Because you have my back and you’ll always be my rock
