Why Mama?

Mama,

Why were you never there for me?

Running down my cheek goes a tear.

What about all those times I told you I loved you.

Did you ignore me? Or did you just not hear?

Day after day I missed you because you were never there.

It took you dying for me to realize you care.

I always wanted to be able to say mama can you help me with this,

I'm scared or what should I do.

For you to say baby It's going to be okay I love you.

But now God has taken you to a better place.

That is something I have to face.

I know you were wrong.

But here with me is were you belong.

Here I am crying Lord why can't my mama be here with me somehow, someway.

All I ever wanted was to be your daughter not a stray.
