Can You Hear Me Mama

Can you hear me, can you hear me Mama
                                      I’d say when I was four
I “played” my toy piano  
    And she’d say, play some more!


Can you hear me, can you hear me Mama
                                            At sixteen, I did say
She smiled as she applauded
    My song for high school play


Can you hear, can you hear me Mama
                                        I called from overseas  
It’s not the best connection
    She cried, just come home please


Can you hear, can you hear me Mama
                                  Although she can’t, I sigh
I’ll always need for her to know
    Her baby boy’s close by



As Mother's Day approaches, my heart is filled of love!
