I couldn’t reach the toy. ⠀
I reached out my hands but they couldn’t make it,⠀ ⠀
I don’t know how to crawl just yet.
So I looked around for you and cried, and there you came.⠀
I heard your voice say “You want that toy” as you moved it back to me, and I rested in the truth that you come when I call.⠀
⠀
Mama, ⠀
⠀
I know you get tired of my cries. It feels like cry for everything right now.⠀
⠀
I don’t know how to say “I need the toy” or most importantly “I need you” so I cry instead.⠀
⠀
Mama,⠀
⠀
It’s not a reflection of how I feel about you.⠀
⠀
I love you, that’s why I cry for you.⠀
⠀
I need you, that’s why I cry for you.⠀
⠀
I know you can’t always get to me right away, that’s ok.⠀
⠀
I love hearing your voice saying “I hear you, I’ll be there soon” as I wait for you.⠀
⠀
Mama, ⠀
⠀
I can’t wait for the day I can tell you how I feel.⠀
⠀
How in your arms I feel safe.⠀
⠀
How you are my fortress, my rock.⠀
⠀
How I find comfort in your voice, your body, and your presence.⠀
⠀
But right now I can’t,⠀
⠀
So when I need you I cry.⠀
⠀
Mama, ⠀
⠀
I see your tears too.⠀
⠀
I know it can be hard.⠀
⠀
In my short life we’ve already been through so much together, and I know we will get through this too.⠀
⠀
I know you don’t always feel like you are doing good, but mama you are more than just good, you are mine. ⠀
⠀
Mama,⠀
⠀
I love you.⠀
⠀
So tonight if I cry, know I don’t expect you to get it right, right away.⠀
⠀
I know you are trying to learn me, just as I’m trying to learn this world around me.⠀
⠀
Mama, we will get through this.⠀
⠀
One day at a time,⠀
⠀
One minute at a time,⠀
⠀
One cry at a time.⠀
