My Ail For Thy Presence

Mommy...you are not there 
In my darkest hour 
When I miss you 
When I need you 

To be my candle flame 
To talk to me
To hold me 

Mommy...you are not answering 
When I call for you 
When I reach out for you 
When I look for you

To give me hope again 
To love me once more 
To find myself in you one more time 

Mommy...you only show up when you possess the finite assests of this world 
Only when days are sunny for you
When you have it all figured out 
When life smiles at you and you smile back

To share your happiness 
To make your light known
To show us how to piece it together too 

But mommy...
I want you near all the time 
I don't want you to keep disappearing when it gets tough for all of us 
I want us to conquer it together

Just like the olden times
Only then, you could never leave me 
Nor choose anybody else above me
