Longing to Hear

Even if I did not take it
                            I would still love to hear
The advice of my dear mother
                            Oh how I wish she was near.
I would love to pick up the phone
                             and hear her voice at the other end.
The kind words of my mother
                             brings comfort to the confusion within.
During the storms of life
                              she helps me to weather every storm.
Oh how I long to be near mother
                               and rest safely within her arms.
It’s during these times of struggles
                              Oh how I miss her so much.
Years and years of her teaching
                   it certainly pulls at the heart
 To hear her words of wisdom
                    it keeps pulling my heart apart.
