Give a listening ear to my thoughts that linger

My eyes are wide open

I'm blinded by memories in a realm of laughter

Along the trail of memories

The reminder of a mother and daughter

The first sight of my birth

My first day on this planet Earth

The gentle smile on my mother's face

Embrace

One of joy, one of grace

I can never forget that face

I can see me in a home

A home that I've always known

These wonderful memories mingle

And teardrops fall from my eyes

Why does this all seem like a big surprise?

Our thoughts are connected

Like a pole to a fence

Now my eyes are wide open, she is not around

I can feel her presence near

She is now distance away

Memories of days spent together still linger

It is memories that I remember
