Hello my long lost mother
I remember your arms
I remember your voice
Singing me to sleep
Slow and sweet but always sad
You used to hold me
But now when I touch you
I know you will be gone
Too soon
Always too soon
So I cling for that one last moment
The moment when I can pretend you still are home
But you’re never coming back
I hope you find what you were looking for
Maybe the next time you sing it won’t be so sad
I miss you

My tears fall in a slow rhythm
When I was young you would wipe them from my cheeks
But now they dry, cold and hard
Goodbye my long lost mother
I love you
I hope you find me one day

Sometimes I dream that your arms are around me once again
But the warmth is never there
And you vanish
Too soon
Always too soon
Goodbye my long lost mother

My mom left my father and I on mothers day in 2007. I love her dearly but I miss her.
