Mama where are you... <br />When I feel your presence near? <br />Mama where are you? <br />When I hear your voice plain and clear? <br /> <br />I wish I could see your face <br />Appear before me now. <br />To see the smile that I know <br />And those hugs I wish God allowed! <br /> <br />At times we were so close, <br />I didn't care who called me 'Mama's Boy'. <br />We had our differences and opinions <br />That brought to us both tears and joy! <br /> <br />It doesn't seem as if <br />Many years have passed since you died. <br />Some days I wish I could hear you say, <br />'Boy, please go and play outside! ' <br /> <br />Mama where are you... <br />When I feel your presence near? <br />There is one thing I know, <br />Even though I miss you so. <br />In my heart I hold you, Mama... <br />Where I feel your closeness grows!<br /><br />Lawrence S.
