mother’s give

Mother’s give when there is no reciprocation

give when there is indifference and isolation

ripples in a pond the old folks just don’t sing our song

fond memories are all we need to get along

no need to connect…we’ve got the internet

besides it’s out of our way and we’ve got to play

and stopping by they always want us to stay

so we don’t stop by even if we’re close by

no time for sunday dinner that‘s what social media is for

don’t need your halo….it’s I love you give a hug gotta go

Now mother we’re good….. they love us and with little expectation we’ll float our boat

and we will sail our vessel till the ocean runs dry

like a bird upon the wind these waters are our sky

and just maybe one day they will value our existence

coming in out of the rain

standing at our door and knocking….hello once again
