Mommy, can you hear me?
Are you all right?
Do you need me?

I am right here
Just waiting…
Waiting to hear you say my name.

For it has been sometime
Since you said my name
I have never heard it said so beautifully
And I have never grown tired
Of hearing your voice.

It’s been awhile, Mom
Please call me, and say my name
And tell me that you love me
Once again.

Just once again…

I’d do anything
To hear you call me

Just once again.

For I have always loved you
And I will forever love you
But now I have to learn
To hear you through the wind
Or see you in my dreams.

For there will be no voice
Calling me
Asking me
Inspiring me.

Are you busy with the angels, Mom?
Do you sing them the songs you used to sing
When I was little?
They must love you so
But I will always love you.
More than they ever will.

You must be happy now, Mommy
For I have not heard you call my name
>From where you are.

But I cry each time I think of you
I miss you, Mom.
I need you , Mom.

Hear me call you now
Hear me say your name.

Mommy, can you hear me?
Can you please make sure
That I am all right?
