I feel you in the quiet, in the spaces of the day,

In the tender winds that blow my way,

You, the voice that soothe my every tear,

I carry your love everywhere, though you’re not near.

The laughter we share, the moments we knew,

In the warmth of your arms, the world feels new.

Every whisper you speak, each kiss on my brow,

I still feel it, Mother, I feel it now.

I see you in the sky, in the sun’s golden hue,

In the stars that twinkle when the night is blue.

Though miles may stretch between us, wide,

You’re always with me, deep inside.

I know the ache you feel when you close your eyes,

Wishing for my hand, beneath the same skies.

I feel your longing, it’s in every prayer,

And though I’m far, I’m always there.

I long for the days when I’d run to you,

When my world was bright, and love was true.

But even now, with time so vast,

In my heart, you are home, forever steadfast.

So, know, dear mother, with every beat,

You are the echo in my soul, the air I breathe.

And though I may be far, lost in life’s way,

I’m still your child, in every thought, every day.
