Mums the Word

Dearest Mummy you came for a calling
In my tears at night when I was crying
Every memory of you inside of me dying
Determined to remember your smiles

~ I'll never forget our little whiles. Together.

In all the years we sat on fears
Keeping our secrets in silent tears
And in all the Times we never spoke,
I learned to grow up in the silence of love.

~ Now I listen to your voice from above.

I wonder why I can hear your eyes,
Still keeping secrets about our lives.
And why is it now that you've come to say
You've changed my name, Again this day.

~ How many more to come this Way...?

Dearest Mummy I know the Word.
What I don't understand, is why I've heard.
