The silence is deafening.
The tears sit on the edge threatening to fall.
But there's no reason to cry so I hold them close.
And blink them dry.
The day's been long and full of strife.
So, it's ok if she was 'mean' tonight.
She's your mother after all.
She always catches you when you fall.
You can deal with a little pain.
Make sure it's not all in vain.
She's read them before.
Listened to your ideas no matter how silly.
She's had a rough day, being sick and all.
So, it's ok if she was 'mean' tonight.
She's your mother after all.
She always catches you when you fall.
So, hold it in.
Say it's fine and move on.
Breathe until it's gone.
Because it's ok if she was 'mean' tonight.
She's your mother after all.
