Mommy...take me along

I walked alone holding myself,
I cried and prayed just by myself.

The days won't end, the nights grew long.
The smile didn't last, the pain drew long.

I was alone, so alone among my very own.
Living without a reason to smile.
And no arms to hold me tight.
No eyes waiting to meet mine.

Just when the pain was too much to bear.
Just when I had decided to quit.
Just when my tears refused to dry.
Just when I felt lonely amidst the familiar sounds.

You came along to find me standing all alone.
You held my hand and took me home.
Home that I've never known.
Home that I could call my very own.


From then you are my only one.
One who taught me to breathe again.
One who taught me to love again.
The world became happy just then once again.
