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.
