When you were little I could hold you

Anytime I wanted too

I could hear your little giggles and sweet coos

See your eyes of sea-green blue

The smiles that lit up your face so true

Now that you are grown you have other things to do

Though it was me that moved and not you

I still need to tell you “I love you!”

And hear you tell me too

So when I call as I usually do

Answer the phone I need to talk to you

You can call me back if you want too

When all your work is through

Please don’t forget me as you sometimes do

Mama needs to hear your voice and say to you

How very much she loves and needs you, too!
