Mommy

Very personal...

Mommy, it's my birthday!
Are you thinking about me?

Mommy, do you remember?
Mommy, do you miss me?

Mommy, do you love me?
I sure hope that you do.

Mommy, are you waiting for me to come home?


I guess this is where I get my patience from.

See, I only got
Sixty-two months,
Three days,
And six hours
Till this will all be done!

Oh this feeling,
Empty feeling,
Will be gone.

Is this wrong?

Every day I go
And push on,
And on, and on..

Will you call me your child?
Will you hold me in your arms?

Will you keep me safe,
Tell me that you love me,
And will you sing me a song?

I'm your little one.

I'll always be your little one..

Are there any that come after me,
A whole family, a world that I'm missing?

Tell me, do they smile?
Tell me, are they kind?

Cuz I have no idea
What I've been missing all my life!

I'll be there soon enough, Mama.
I hope that you're ready for me to come.

I cry..
As I write this song.

I can sense what you're feeling
From afar.

Don't leave me with a scar..

Mommy, it's my birthday!
Are you thinking about me?

Mommy, do you remember?
Mommy, do you miss me?

Mommy do you need me?
I definitely need you.

Mommy, are you waiting for me to come home?

I pray that you're waiting
For me to come home...

Finally a place
Where I can belong...

Author's Note

This was hard for me to write because it is very personal. I've tried so many times to write about this topic, but it just never seemed right. I tried my best to make this sound good, and I hope that it does. Please enjoy and share any feedback :)

I like the tone of the writing. And I'm proud that you could put something so personal and put it into something simple like how a child would write as I feel it comes from a younger perspective. I found it very good. Though at some points it sounds like you left out a word...
"Will call me your child?
Will you hold me in your arms?

Will keep me safe, "

Is there supposed to be a "you" in the first line between "will" and "call"?
Is there supposed to be a "you" in the last line between "will" and "Keep"?
