my mom's laughter under the sun
reminding me where i come from
conversations as i take her past sea level
this is where i’ll heal my love long gone
magnolias are going in the dirt
the dandelion to my indigo
the sun to my moon
“seven year ache” tuning to digging away
season two beginning as i kiss the first gone
missed my time alone with my mother’s moonlit beyond
gardenias out on the lawn
out of town for Thursday
we walk dusk into dawn as we catch up on all we missed out on
nothing can heal like her embrace
our phases have taken us to shame
but the morning has always came
and the sun has shown us the way
back to our full moon.
she’s tougher than most
with a souls melody sweeter than lemonade
she wisps away the cloudy days
and she pulls me into the haze
always reminding me that i’ll be okay.
my momma and me
she’s made her promise
lit my path
and pushed me out the plane when i felt the need to stay
my momma and me
hand in hers as she helps me find my way
beacon in my night as i feel the pain of yesterday
nothing like the love she’s taught me along the way.
[to my momma, i love you more than i’ll ever be able to say.]
