Oh Mother Are You Okay
I'm suffocating without you, my life breather.
Forever missing you, your greatest griever.
You created my life by the blood in your veins.
The color of your eyes, on my heart, stains.
Sounds of your laughter echo like thunder.
I cannot awake you from this slumber.
Your smile is burnt into my memories.
The first day without you felt like centuries.
Your last words were to me, forever, l hang on.
Lingering halo a top this angel, my mom.
Did God give you your wings? I need you to fly home.
I need to know that you're okay, wherever you may roam.
Just give me a sign, let me know that you can see.
My daughters sleeping at night, the Mom I came to be.
Tell me in my dreams, whisper in my ears.
Each day without you, is like a thousand years.
Are you in a place where you're with your Mother?
Are you happy Mommy? Do you suffer?
I just miss you, forever I will.
A hole in my heart that no one could fill.
