Tender Touch

TENDER TOUCH

It doesn’t make any difference, what highway or road we take.
Because when we get in trouble, there’s no mistake.
We call on the name of Mama.
Because we can still imagine Mama’s tender touch and loving hands,
I don’t care how old we get, there’s something About Mama, and that tender touch.
So, when you wake up this morning, don’t forget about the one who held you near, and kept you close when you were in fear.
If you fell and hurt yourself, she would kiss your dirty knees.
Now it’s time to reciprocate and show her that you care.
Because when you sit back and wonder – just remember she was always there.
Yes, I’ll always Remember Mama, in my good days and my bad.
There is one thing I will never forget – her tender touch, and loving hands.

I Still Wonder

I STILL WONDER

There’s not a day that goes by, that I don’t stop and think of your Apple Blossom Smile.
A smile that lights up every room – but now there’s nothing there but darkness and Gloom.
I remember the first day we met, you reminded me of a Cheshire cat – with that Apple Blossom Smile.
But as you turned away, everyone would say, there goes the girl with that – Apple Blossom Smile.
Even though you wandered to the wrong side of the tracks.
I know that one day you’d be back – with that Apple Blossom Smile.
As the days have come and gone, I still wonder what happened to the girl – with the Apple Blossom Smile.

Life Goes On

LIFE GOES ON

It’s been a year since you’ve been gone. It’s kind of hard but Life Goes On – like lightning bugs in a jar.
I remember that day we stole away, and sat beside a waterfall, and looked up at the stars in the sky.
It reminds me of the days that we would run and play and catch lightning bugs in a jar.
Yes, a year has passed, but I can’t forget how we used to catch lightning bugs in a jar.
Yes, I’m staying strong, and life goes on. But I cannot forget how we used to run and skip and put lightning bugs in a jar.
My, how the year passed by so very quick. But now our children run and skip and put lightning bugs in a jar.
