Hope, Longing, Life: Find Me Elsewhere

Sometimes I may hug you a little too tight, I may even check on you ten times a night,
Sometimes I may kiss you a little too much, Cling to you, sing to you, tickle and such,
As you grow up you may notice me kissing your nose, Touching your hair, feeling your toes,
I may cry when you walk, laugh when you talk, Scream when you're late, coming home from your date,
I may very often pull you near Because I don't want you to see my tears,
I never will want you to have my fears, Because I need you to know I hold you so dear,
Cause you see, I'm not just your mother, A long time ago, I lost another.
