My Comfort
Can you see, can you feel
how much my heart aches for you?
As a child as an adult
until my last breath
my heart will call out for you.
In your many absences
in the darkness of night
when everyone slept
the cold wall was my comfort
without saying a word
she caressed my face
and wiped away tears shed for you.
When you were home I had comfort
and a mother to hold me
I didn't need to say a word
yet you always new that I needed you.
There is no one on this earth
that embraced me as you did
your fiery and vibrant soul
will forever be irreplaceable you.
