No need to shout … I’m listening
My head hurts … too loud for me
You’re not shouting … nay!
But … but … I heard … light-years away
Thoughts streaming … through my head
Even … sound asleep … in bed
Certainly loud enough … for me
Forgive me Lord … on bended knee
My head hears noises … assumed above
My heart protects … I miss her love
Reminiscing … from … long … ago
Sometimes I don’t know where it’s from
Or goes … sometimes my tears stream
Down my face … always missing Mom’s embrace.
