Mother May I Miss You?

Mother may I miss you?
I want so badly to kiss you.
Maybe on the forehead or on your cheek.
Mother, I wish I could hear you speak.

Mother may I mourne you?
I wish I could have warned you.
Maybe given us a chance to say good bye.
Mother, don't despair when you see me cry.

Mother may I cry for you?
I do not wish to defy you.
I wish I'd done everything you told me.
Mother, I feel so cold and lonely.

Mother may I miss you?
I wish so badly to kiss you.
Maybe on the head or on your hand.
Mother, I'll meet you in the Promised Land.
