Mama's Alright

Mornings...
Afternoons 
Evenings....
They just aren't the same..
Burying my grief
At a depth deeper than my pain
So numb 
So numb
That a tear hasn't creeped from the corners
Hoped that they would
Hoping that they could
Instead 
It's your voice
It's those phrases
Those embarrassing moments 
Now keeps me laughing 
And shields me from crying 
Generating desperately needed comfort 
As the weight of your absence
Filters through the walls of resilience 
Like a clock striking twelve...
The thoughts you've ingrained blossom
With your voice
With your demeanor 
This moment like every moment before 
I feel your presence
Your warmth ignites my spirit 
Fuels my soul for whatever maybe
Especially when I hear...
Mama's alright..
Don't worry 'bout me
Mama's alright
