You In Me

Feelin' my dear Mama tonight.

There are always places we can Go

Is there anything you'ld like to Show

What about those things still in the Dark

We could always go down to the Park 

What was that you had to Say

Could you turn around and maybe Stay

When did you start to question Why

And started to see the many Lies

There are so many ways that we could Play

So many places that are never Gray

You seem to have a loving Smile

It seems I've known you all the While

Can't hear the whispers over my own Breath

Don't know the reason why you Pretend

I see that sadness in your Heart 

'Bout tears my world all Apart

So many screams we never Hear

So much confusion, so much Fear

We've only a moment when it Comes

And we gotta be ready to become the Ones

There are these people that I Know

They take my Heart and begin to Show

That there are blessings here for us All

To let me know I'm big, not so Small

The whispers come to the quiet Place

Myself is there for me to Face

So many times he has welcomed Me

He tries so hard to set me Free

I lay alone on an empty Floor

Gazing into an image of many Doors

Not knowing which that I should Choose

I seek the guidance of my Muse

Once I've chosen I Realize

It does not really matter which I Surmise

Because they all lead to a piece of my Puzzle

Time to drink slowly not to Guzzle

There is a vision that I Saw

About the Love of my dear Ma

She had no more things that she could Give

Only a message on how to Live

Why did I see her folding up her Life

And why did it strike me like a Knife

Can I ever find her kindness now my Friend

Before this journey comes to a sudden End

Why are the pictures growing Dim

Must search my Heart must go Within

Do you have a gift for me to Share

As I struggle coming close it's hard to Bare

Where are the pictures I had of You

Don't let it slip from me, bring back to View

The coming day is getting so very Close

It was your Heart that gave me the Most

Don't turn away before I See

I've got to know you're still here with Me

You will always be my Mama, love you Most

You are so dear, my loving Ghost

So many faces in the Night

My Heart returning to the Light 

So many gifts I have not Shared

There is nothing else I can Compare

I saw you weak and broken, so many Years

But then you took me far beyond my Tears

I saw at last your inner Strength

How you would go to any Length

The love you had for Daddy was so Real

It was somethin' everybody could Feel

At his funeral I saw you strong for the first Time 

I saw how you could walk any Line

There is a candle that burns in Me

You lit it, to help my Heart to See

There is no time in the place you're At

And I know you can always come and have a Chat

What is the reason that I go On

Is it that I might share my Song 

I hear your voice and it quiets Me

Somehow it comes and rests my Need

Oh mama, help me to be Strong

Help me to Live my life my whole life Long

I don't know why for years I did not See

How much of you, is here in Me
