i just got home from work, mama
now i understand
i remember wondering why you always had a drink with dinner
now i understand
worked all day long today, till i was exhausted, and i STILL had to go get the eggs and the milk.
now i understand
walked home from the store in the dark, my feet
aching
burning
aching
burning
with every step.
now i understand
got my computer out to play music while i cooked dinner for myself, and it was dead. i almost screamed with frustration.
now i understand
this house seems so empty when i'm alone.
i miss you, mama.
i know now why you always had a drink with dinner.
i understand, mama.
and i'm grateful.
