Mom...

Do you really hear us
When we talk
Are your thoughts
As you want them to be......

As you talk
You stop
On what you say
In your eyes
We see you
Don't understand......

Everything is new
You have forgotten
The moments before
As we lead the way
For you.......

You have to trust us so
Nobody will hurt you
Nor,shall you fall......

We don't get mad
Nor do we yell
It's not you
Doing these things
This we know.......

Sometimes you still laugh
Say a sentence
Or two........

We know you sleep a lot
Do you also dream
We hope you really do.......

We can tell Mom
Is still Mom
The squeeze of our hands
As you hold us so......

The best I see
Is the gleam in your eyes
As the treats,we give......

A big smile
A thank you
The smile in your eyes
This is the Mom we know.....
