(through the eyes of a 6-year old boy)

Can you tuck me into bed, Mama?

oh and do not forget to kiss me goodnight,

Can you tell me a story, mama 

before you turn out the lights?

Will you kiss my forhead, mama

like you used to do before?

And can you tell me that you love me, mama

before you close my bedroom door?

Why don't you want to talk to me, mama

I miss the sound of your voice,

Mama, can you please say something

but if you don't then I guess it is your choice. 

 Mama, I have to tell you something...

Mama, I am not sure just what 

you might be going through,              

but I am sure that you cry alot,             

Because me and Gracie are hurting too.         

Why did we have to leave you, Mama         

 we still had so much growing up to do,           

 Did we somehow make you mad, Mama          

 or were we just not good enough for you?            

Did you know that Gracie cries at night        

I think that it is because she has to sleep alone,         

Mama, can you please call the house tonight       

'cause me and Gracie are waiting by the phone        

I thought that you said that you would never leave

you said that we were pals; You and me    

But you broke your promise, Mama           

just like you broke our family.
