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!
