As soon as the sun hit your eyes I knew
That you were here for me and i for you
But you came up to me unsure maybe of what to say or do
And you were at a loss for words when I finally spoke to you
"Hi, I'm new here is what was said"
You took my hand and by it you led
Me to my own mothers death bed
"Why to here have I been led?"
"Just wait a little longer more patiently"
My mother coughed 2 times then drifted into her sleep
"Why did ou bring me here to see
Is she coming to be with me?"
As I awoken from my slumber
I frantically thought about her number
Frantically I called that number
I said, "Are you okay?" when she picked up that number
Someone said, "You should come here
She wants for only you to be near,
So that your voice she can hear
So that finally what subsides is her fear."
And to my childhood house I did go
Wondering if I'd ever know
Wondering if I'd ever grow
To understand why this early she had to go
Sometimes the world teaches us to see the unknown
Hoping that by it, somehow we've grown
Into the people we've always known
The ones who helped us be on our own
