It Will Come To You Neil Southern
It will come to you
My mother said
As she hobbled down the stairs
With her dodgy knee
You see I used to have a laugh
In a fond sort of way
She knew I was joking
At least I hope she did
That last winter was bad
Jack said she had been asleep
All day on the couch
I never thought
Then at Christmas it’s clear
Long after the day
That something was wrong
Just check out the photo
The oxygen mask
Misted then cleared
Her hand gripped mine
I don’t think she could see me
And then she recovered
For a day or two at least
She still couldn’t speak
Whilst they were there
It didn’t last long
Before the agony came
I can honestly say
It was the worst night of my life
There are some things you see
You never want to see again
It would be nice to think
She is somewhere better
In the years since that night
I have hoped she would call
Just a sign or a sound
To convince me
And now it has come to me
As she said it would
I just wish she would call
To have a laugh
