Little Lord Sebastian by Sharon Wells

I AM HERE MAMAW I’LL NEVER LEAVE YOU”

I HEARD YOU SAYING YOUR PRAYERS LAST NIGHT
I DIDN’T MEAN TO PEEP.
I COULD TELL THAT YOU WERE CRYING
AND FOUND IT HARD TO SLEEP.
I WHINED TO YOU SOFTLY
AS YOU BRUSHED AWAY THE TEARS
IT’S ME MAMAW I WELL
I’M FINE I’M HERE.

I WAS CLOSE TO YOUR AT BREAKFAST
AS YOU SLOWLY POURED YOUR COFFEE
YOU WERE THINKING OF THE MANY TIMES
YOUR ARMS REACHED DOWN FOR ME.
I WAS WITH YOU AT THE STORE TODAY
YOUR ARMS WERE SORE
I LONGED TO HELP YOU WITH YOUR GROCERIES
I WANTED TO DO MORE.

I WAS WITH YOU WHEN YOU HELD MY ASHES.
YOU TEND THEM WITH SUCH CARE
I WANTED TO REASSURE
“OH MAMAW – I’M NOT REALLY
SEALED IN THERE”

I ROAD WITH YOU IN YOUR CAR TODAY
LIKE OLD TIMES USE TO BE
MAMAW AND HER BABY BOY
NO HAPPIER COULD ONE SEE.

AND WHEN WE GOT TO YOUR HOUSE
YOU FUMBLED WITH THE KEY
I STRETCHED OUT MY LITTLE PAW TO HELP
I WISHED YOU KNEW IT WAS ME.

YOU LOOKED SO VERY TRIED AND
FELL INTO OUR CHAIR.
I TRIED SO HARD TO LET YOU KNOW
THAT I WAS STANDING THERE.
IT’S POSSIBLE FOR ME TO BE NEAR YOU
EACH AND EVERY DAY
I WANT TO TELL YOU WITH CERTAINTY
I NEVER WENT AWAY.

AS YOU SAT THERE IN THE STILLNESS
OF THE HOUR ALONE
I THINK YOU KNEW
THAT I WAS CLOSE TO YOU AND
WHEN THE TIME IS RIGHT FOR YOU
TO CROSS THAT GREAT DIVIDE
I’LL RUSH ACROSS TO MEET YOU AND
I JOIN YOU AT YOUR SIDE.

YOUR DADDY IS HERE
HE LOVES ME JUST LIKE YOU.
WE HAVE SO MANY THINGS FOR YOU TO SEE.
SO MANY THING FOR YOU TO DO
BUT BE PATIENT MAMAW FOR EVEN
THOU I’M WITH YOU EACH DAY
I’M HERE WITH JESUS TOO.

WE WANT YOU TO LIVE YOUR LIFE
BE HAPPY AS CAN BE.
WE WILL WAIT FOR YOU
WHEN JESUS SAYS IT’S RIGHT
THEN JESUS AND I WILL WAKE GRANDDADDY
AND TELL HIM YOU’RE COMING HOME TO US
OH HOW HAPPY WE WILL BE.

YOU ARE MY LOVING MAMAW
IT’S ALWAYS IN YOUR HEART AND
I WILL NEVER LEAVE YOU.

YOU SEE FOR YOU ARE
MY ENDLESS LOVE TOO!
YOUR BABY BOY “SWEETIE”
