some nights i have dreams about my mom

i don't know how i feel about them

i wake up and cry after them but they help me remember

what her voice sounded like

how she walked and moved

in my dreams i have my mom

i can pick up the phone and shoot the breeze with her

she has a voice that is so clear and strong

in my dreams she drives to my house on the weekends

hangs out with the grandkids

in my dreams she is my strong and independent mother

the one who pushes me to be strong and independent

in my dreams i don't feel alone
