Why did you leave me mama
I miss you so bad
Did I do something wrong
Am I still your little boy

Age 12
I still think of you mama
Even after all this time
Sometimes when I fall asleep
I see you mama so beautiful

Age 20
I.can't remember your face mama.
It's been too long you are
fading like an old tune
I have not heard in years

AGE 30
You have almost become
A memory mama
Why did you never call me.
I know even now
I would put my arms around you
And say I love you.
People say it was too hard
For you to see me
And that you still loved me
I smile and nod.

But deep inside
I know it's something
Less than love
Yes for sure
Something
much less than love
