SitonicSA - Memories of My Mother

Oh,
I miss you.
Oh,
Miss you.
When the night feels like forever,
I still reach out for your hand.
Every shadow on the ceiling
Draws your face in broken strands.
All the words I never told you
Echo quiet in my chest.
In the silence I remember
How your heartbeat felt like rest.
Every sunrise through my window
Paints your picture in the sky.
I can almost hear you laughing
When the morning birds fly by.
I keep talking to your photo
Like you’re standing in this room,
But the answers never find me—
Only your memories.
Oh,
I still feel you near me
Like the sunrise in the blue.
Mama,
I am so lost without you.
Every light reminds me of you.
Mama,
Are you watching over me from a place
Beyond my view?
Mama,
Hold the love in my heart.
I sing the song I sing for you.
Oh, I’ve been learning how to breathe now
In a world that feels so cold.
Trying hard to keep the pieces
Of the stories that you told
In the quiet of these walls.
I can hear your favorite song,
And my heart breaks on the rhythm
Of love that stays so strong.
I see traces of your kindness
In the people that I meet,
In the gentle ways they hold me,
In the smiles out on the street.
I keep lighting little candles,
Hoping they find their way to you.
Every flicker is a whisper—
I still carry all your memories in me.
Mama,
I still feel you near me. Near me.
Like the sunrise and the blue.
Mama,
I am so lost without you. Without every
Light reminds me of you,
Mama.
Are you watching over me?
Love me from the place beyond my view.
All is taking in my heart.
I sing the song I sing for you
In the glow of early morning
When the world is turning.
I will hold you in the daylight
In the soft and faded hue.
Every heartbeat writes a promise—
That my love will see this through
In the sunrise.
I remember:
I am still a part of you.
I still feel you near me. Near me,
Like the sunrise and the blue.
I am so lost without you. Without every
Light—
Of you,
My…
Are you watching over me from a place beyond
My view?
Hold this love in my heart.
I sing this song. I sing for you.
Oh,
I miss you, Mama.
Oh,
I still feel you.
Oh, Mama, I am so lost without you.
