Mama do you know How many tears I cried for you How many times I died inside for you How much I mourned your abscense No bedtime stories at night No kisses on my brow Not one smile nor embrace The countless dreams that have plauged my heart I know not what together is For we have always been apart I have threaded my way through cobbled alleyways in Puerto Rico Each one a stranger so many beautiful faces and a piece of fluttering cloth perhaps the hem of a dress I followed it around corners Once I almost touched it But the wind blew and you disappeared yet again from my view I am left looking at the sea and the sky Both are blue But without you eternally I am too In this time I will probably never find you But I will love you forever and for me I hope God will remind you I do Your Daughter Lexi Hilife
