Dear Momma,
I see you.
The care you show
The weary tears that flow
The meals you make
The cakes you bake
The noses you wipe
The up all nights
I see you
I close my eyes
And I see you
The clothes you made
Applesauce and Shake ‘n Bake
The countless trips to practice
So I could do gymnastics
I see you
The toast you dipped in
Coffee sipped
The shuffling sound
Of your feet on the ground
I see you
Your messy hair
Looks that stare
The arm you hold
The sweater for cold
I see you
The crafts you made
Ice cream and Koolaid
Trips to pool
So we could all cool
I see you
Words unspoken
Hearts all broken
Time too short
More to explore
I see you
Video calls from my girls
Memories that swirl
Eyes that resemble
Memories assemble
I see you
Loving sacrifice
Built into a life
Goes forth to generation
Bringing elation
I see you
Oh how I long
For night to be dawn
When Jesus be sight
Instead of dark night
Then we’ll be
Together and free
‘Til then sweet Momma
I will press onward
And hope for the day
I see you
Dear Momma,
I see you
Don’t give up the good fight
The day becomes night
The struggle you feel
Becomes a memory reel
What seems not to matter
Will be the chatter
Of those you loved
When you’re above
