"Where are you mommy?"
I was walking along highway 74
Without any guidance at all
Till I saw that little boy,
Sitting on the railing
He didn't move, never looked at me
He only watched the grass shake
He only watched the clouds move
He did not utter a word
Yet I knew this feeling inside of him
I felt his heart aching
I felt his lonliness
This is what his heart was saying:
Where are you mommy?
I've been waiting so long
I've been sitting since I was put here
And now you left me
I am waiting patiently mommy
But you are never arriving
I hope you have a goodie for me mommy
Cuz that's what you said you'd bring me
Where did you go mommy?
It's getting cold here
I've been waiting so long
So long and more days than I could count
The seasons are changing mommy
It feels like yesterday it was spring
The bunnies were cute mommy
But all I see is snow.
When are you comming back mommy?
I can't wait till you get back
My shoes are getting wet mommy
My feet are getting cold.
My life is slipping away mommy
It's getting too cold
I can't bear this any longer
Please come back mommy.
I stood there, absolutely dazed
At what this little boy said
And as I was realizing this
I was leaving Highway 74
I steadily walked away
And never sought to return
I could never bear to see this child
Want something we all take for granted
I cried for the child
How could one go through such?
Why, of all people
Must it be this child?
I sought to forget this event
But I dont think I ever will
For this child who yearned for a mommy
Never had one to begin with
