I wish I knew you

I wish I knew you

Your smile, your touch

The color of your hair,

Lullabies you sang as we

Rocked in your chair!

I wish I knew

The sound of your voice

Long silenced, for me....unheard! My memories of you grow weak and now blurred! To hear you speak I'd cherish the words! For a son to move on just seems so absurd!

I knew despite my young age, no need to explain, your passing for me meant a great deal of pain!

My life's course, now permanently changed!

A motherless child, orphaned and small, God

Saw fit I come through it all

Somehow....

A man of my own

I find myself now.

I wish I knew

The course of events

Evils plan and destructive intents, then maybe somehow I coulda convinced

With pleads to the heavens

For your life's defense

History recorded, it makes no more sense!

I've asked many times through all of

the years

Why God allows evil

To bring children tears

Without hesitation, and speaking real clear

God gave me good people....removed all my fear!

Raised by others , a burden it seems

No cheering from mom , when I did good for our team !

No praise came my way when I aced the big test

Since the day that I lost you

My life’s been a mess.

But together again , one day we will be

God has been telling me that one day I’ll see

You are happy in heaven with beautiful wings

He says when I get there , together we’ll sing !

Today, my mother should be celebrating another trip around the sun! My mother and my father, both murdered when I was only 4 yrs old ! Fate did not allow this birthday, and many before, to be celebrated by her! So , I offer this birthday greeting to all the mothers who, for whatever reasons, will not receive such greetings from a son!

So if this is your birthday, please accept the birthday wishes I reserved for my mother !

Wishing You a Happy Birthday, Mom!
