I'm Missing Mama She gave me birth and without warning she left this earth, to see her placed in in that dirt was the worst or was it when I was following that ugly black hurist? I heard the preacher say ashes to ashes dust to dust, I thought " Mother can I speak to you once again please as you see it's a must? don't you have one fight in you left? A thought interrupted my chain of thought and said, she's fought a good fight let her take her rest her children received her best As people started leaving the cemetery, seems I couldn't leave her there alone, to me it seemed a form of abandonment, It finally hit me, this is real not play, what a sad and gloomy day, she no longer answers the phone when it rings, all I have left are some of her things They mean more to me now than when she was alive then I asked myself did I give her enough flowers while she lived? I regret the times I brought her grief it took her death to realize she really did love me! The relationship between a mother and child can be a complicated one, yet it's oh so simple when she's gone, because then there's no question as to who was wrong, the blame you finally owned, you feel so alone, calling in the dark hoping she answers and tell you it was all a bad dream, she's not answered me yet she never will again it seems I know for sure she's watching and expecting me to do my best and her favorite command, was to never give up on my dreams no matter how far they seem, when I'm feeling real low I look at her picture hanging over my desk, which some days, like today! seems to speak, only God and I know the sweet things she says to me "Alright " I'm Sure To Be!!!
