Tell me mama

Tell me mama, what’s in your eyes?

I see glowing green fireflies,

When you cry, I’ll collect your tears,

Water the roses,

And bring them to you dear.

Tell me mama, why are you so sweet?

I taste your honey and buzz like a bee,

When I’m thirsty, you get me drunk,

I float in your glass,

Even when I feel sunk.

Tell me mama, what’s in your heart? 

I see finches fly in pairs, not apart,

When you’re hurting, I’ll sing you rhymes,

Mend your wings,

It’ll just take a little time.

Tell me mama, what’s in your smile?

When I’m tired and I hiked for miles,

The sun blinds me, you always know,

I need your beaming,

To ease my weary soul.
