Mother

lyrics and accompanying music copyright 2008 Richard P. Crawford, Jr.; all right reserved.

Do you remember, when I was a baby, you used to feed me, helped me become alive;

and every morning, you worried about me, fretting about the dangers,

waiting for me outside;

I know you love me, even though I disappoint you; the biggest failure still shines in their Mother’s eyes;

but please consider, a not so selfless manner; I want to know you too were happy before you die.

Even though now you have gone away from me, I live forever this gift that you have given me;

and I know it won’t be easy having these memories

but your heart still beats in mine for all the world to see

love will be the cure of this I am sure

a mother’s love will endure, steadfast and pure;

Then there was something, we were told about you; you’re sun was setting, time to say goodbye;

and I won’t ever forget you, and try not to regret you; and I’ll try to keep you always in my mind’s eye;

and I think you loved me, even when I wasn’t with you; you were always for me, always on my side;

and whenever I think that I’m happy , I’ll remember how often you cried;

I battle with cold bouts of bitter loneliness; trying to find my way back to the shore;

a light then beckons plaintively through ochre mist;

then I realize salvation was given me in the womb;

and never shall I fear any more;
