At the age, I could not see
When I was, younger and needed thee

mother I cried

Many parents leaving now
So much older, I can’t see how

mother I’m crying

In your bed, you now sleep
I won’t make a peep

Mama I whisper

We used to play a fun game
I know you still love me the same

mommy, I laughed

At your side, I hold your hand
Time in the glass runs out like sand

Mother I’m here for you

You can cry now too….
