Mama's Voice
August 31, 2010
The choice words
That was said
May they rest in my head
A voice, so soft
So subtle and free
Swimming swiftly in the breeze
Lost in her words
Striking my heart
A special bond
Never shall part
A voice remembered
Until that stormy day
Torn from her mouth
Mama’s voice didn’t stay
Mama gave her voice
Another try
It fumbled, and pried
Mama’s voice was her guide
Finally a whisper,
From the back of her throat
Mama gave her voice away
Exchanged from some hope
