My mommy died

by Kristen   Mar 3, 2007


Suitcase packed with all her things
Car pulls up, the doorbell rings
she don't want to go
she thought he'd found his home
But with circumstances she can't change
Waves goodbye as they pull away
From the life he's known
For the last seven months or so

She said we found the man who looks like you
Who cried and said he never knew
About the girl in pictures that we showed him
A rambler in his younger days
He knew he made a few mistakes
But he swore he would have been there
Had he known it
Son we think we found your dad in Oklahoma

A million thoughts raced through her mind
What's his name, what's he like and will be be
Anything like the man in her dreams
She could see the questions in her eyes
Whispered "don't be scared my child
I'll let you know, what we know

One last turn she held her breath
till they reached the fifth house on the left
And all at once the tears came rolling in
And as they pulled into the drive
A man was waiting there outside
Who wiped the worry from her eyes Smiled and took her hand

And he said I'm the man who looks like you
Who cried because I never knew
But I swear I would have been there had I known it
Never again will you ever be alone
babygurl welcome to your home in Oklahoma

I'm only four,
what happened to my mommy?
sweetie your mommy killed herself,
she was doing drugs.
she sniffed too much and it killed her.

i want my mommy,
honey, you'll see her again in heaven when you die.
i love you mommy, can you hear me?
yes sweetie she can hear you,
lets go get some ice-cream Alisha.
