Mama, Let Me See You Cry
A Poem by TTBoy
Your baby boy has grown up
out on his own
doin’ his own stuff
Seems like time has really flown by
just like yesterday
fast as a blink of an eye
You taught me well
there when I needed you
Love was there I could tell
I remember days and nights so long
I can still see you in your chair
holding me tightly and singing your song
If ever you were tired,
you never told me so
everytime you bowed your head
I could still see your glow
You always wanted the best for me
no one was good enough
as far as you could see
Day and night you prayed
I pretended to not know why
Things are good for me today,
and I hope they always will be
All because of you, Mama, let me see you cry
Whatever you said to God
whatever He said back to you
I hope He didn’t let you down
and did just what you asked Him to
I was kept out of harm’s way
Times, I don’t even know why
Now a man with riches and plenty
Mama, let me see you cry
You may not want to share it with me
You may want me to put it away
You always taught me to save
just in case life finds a rainy day
If you ask me if I’m happy
If you ask me if I’m ever sad
your life is my life
’cause you’re the best friend I ever had
So now when I fold my hands
and look up to the sky
I hope God is not angry with me
when I say, Mama, let me see you cry
