Mama, Don’t Get Old

In the stillness of dawn, where shadows softly creep,
I find my heart is breaking, in the silence where I weep.
Mama, hold back the years, defy the cruel, swift tide,
For every beat of your heart is a solace I confide.

Your hands, once strong and steady, now tremble with the time,
Each line a testament to love, each wrinkle, a silent rhyme.
In every sigh and shiver, in every tender plea,
I see the price you've paid for dreams that were meant for me.

Your eyes, though dimming slowly, still hold a tender light,
Reflecting all my hopes, my fears, in the depth of night.
As I reach for stars and struggle through each test and strain,
I need your strength beside me, to guide me through the pain.

Mama, don’t you fade away, don’t let the years take hold,
For your love is my foundation, my courage to be bold.
I’m chasing dreams and victories, but in this endless quest,
Your presence is the heartbeat that gives my soul its rest.

In every victory I claim, in every triumph bright,
I want your tears of joy to mix with mine tonight.
Though tears may fall like raindrops and my heart may break anew,
I am nothing without you, my heart belongs to you.

Mama, please stay with me, through every trial and fear,
For each success I strive for is a testament to your care.
I promise I will make it, but only if you stay,
So don’t get old, my dearest; I need you every day.
