Just Call Your Mother

Just call your mother For there is no other Who gave you life And raised you to heights Unforeseen in her mind Yet hoped all the while She showed you love Let you go as a dove Prayed you’d be alright The Lord watch you by night Waited by the phone In case you felt alone A call any day To sooth your cares away She grows old on her own Wonders what she did wrong Her phone never rings She did give you wings But you still have a heart It may come as a start That you rip hers apart When you pretend she’s not there When she thinks you don’t care And all it would take  Is a 10 minute break Instead you show young ones Your uncaring ways Don’t realize some day That they’ll do the same... Just call your mother How hard could it be? Perhaps once a week? How much time does it take? You’d rather jump in a lake? Or are you a fake? Oh for heavens sake! Just call your mother! In the back of your mind You know you have time You feel comfort knowing  Her presence showing And how she waits there Oh how much she cares Doesn’t matter the differences Forget certain instances  If it wasn’t for her truth There would be no you When her work is done  It will hit you a ton Because you only get one Written- 08/10/2020 and 12/26/2020
