Mother, Missing You
Mother, Missing You
Mother, it's been so long
Since I've known
Your loving arms around me
A sweeter hand to hold
Unto moments utter still
Open eye and drying tear
Swept silent under strains
From ever slipping here
It's the pain that finds you
If I look upon any everywhere
Whispering inward out
“Will the little boy ever disappear?”
In that every then and now
I laugh myself to sorrowness
Because of your echoes, hearken
Deep within to bitterness
Mother, in missing you
I'm not that strong
I wish it wasn't me
Or you, that I'd found
All those years ago
Never answers or reasons, “Why?”
I tried to tell you many times
But, I never had a chance to say...
Goodbye
