ONE LAST TIME
Let me lay my head on your lap
Tell you about my day at work
See you nod and hum as I talk
Just one last time.
Let me taste your food one more time
Sit and watch you cook
Watch you pick every bone with care
Count the bowls as you dish out.
Let me talk to you, just once more
Be completely honest this time
Tell you when I'll visit next
Not be shy in your presence.
Let us sit and talk, one more time
Not in Themne, but in Krio
So we can laugh out loud
As you share your stories.
I just need a hug, a kiss on my forehead
That silver coin you gave for school
I want to see you hide it away
Keeping it safe from others.
