I Hear Your Voice…

I hear your voice

when you want me to

wake up early lest I be late

I hear your voice

I hear your voice

When you stuff my mouth

with a sandwich lest I stay hungry

I hear your voice

I hear your voice

When you wave your hand

and wish me luck, lest I have a bad day

I hear your voice

I hear your voice

when you call in noon

to know if I have eaten anything, lest I skip my lunch

I hear your voice

I hear your voice

when you call again in evening

and remind me of the groceries, lest I forget it

I hear your voice

I hear your voice

when you make lime juice for me

and ask how my day was, lest I feel bogged down

I hear your voice

I hear your voice

when you sit next to me

and stroke my head, lest I go to sleep with a headache

I hear your voice

I hear your voice

when you cook dinner for me

and ask how hungry I am, lest I remain hungry

I hear your voice

I hear your voice

when you make the bed for me

stuff it with pillows, lest I sleep in discomfort

I hear your voice

I hear your voice

when you kiss me good night

and say it’s gonna be alright

I hear your voice

I hear your voice

when you keep the door ajar

lest I feel lost and all alone

I hear your voice

even when you are not here mom…
