Mum, I know that I’m not talking
To you as I used to do
When I was so much smaller
And I used to hug you too
But if you can just be patient
Till my brain and body grow
Once again I’ll want your wisdom
And maybe kiss you as I go
I know that when I’m angry
And you don’t know what to say
That I make you quite unhappy
So it’s hard for us to stay
In our home and be together
When I’m sad and all withdrawn
Staying in my room, behind the door
Even with the curtains drawn
But one day I’ll emerge from all
The darkness, out and in
Our communication slowly
Will no doubt begin again
I’ll be thankful that I have you
In my life to walk beside
Now I’m grown and we are family
And as friends, to love in life
