Your life is so lonely
like a child without a toy.
Then a miracle: a boy.
***
I packed my clothes and
left home that night.
left home that night.
Though she begged me to stay,
I was sure I was right.
And you know something funny?
I forgot that boy right away.
Instead I remember
being tucked in bed
being tucked in bed
and hearing my mama say
"Hush, little baby, don't you cry
Mama won't go away"
***
Mama won't go away"
