Truly

I cried, truly I did

I looked up to see a bird

I cried, truly I did

A reminder to my mother’s every word

I wept, truly I did

As I counted the time

I wept, truly I did

As I dwelt upon the wisdom of my mother’s lines

I sobbed, truly I did

I did not but want

I sobbed, truly I did

For my mother I want

I cried, wept, and sobbed, truly I did

I awaited the time when I would se her again, always

I cried, wept, and sobbed, truly I did

I did all that for that one faithful day
