Sometimes I catch a glimpse,
In softened waves of blue
My child, my heart  …when I see a smile
I can’t help but think of you

Sometimes these  waves fill oceans.
And feelings string on every shore
A collections of  each memory
And every way I wish for more

Sometimes I watch for  answers
Because each day I call to you
I ask for faith and courage
And  strength …to help me through

Sometimes I ask for bravery
Like dolphins  in the deep
Because time moves oh so slowly
And some times the road is  steep

Sometimes I want to scream
This was not what I had  planned
Why you ever suffered
A mom can’t understand

Sometimes I  hear your laughter
And remember you at play
But My Child I always miss  you
Not sometimes, but everyday
