Albert, come get mom
pick her up
in the baby blue Rambler
she needs a ride
to the tea cups
to the roller coaster
the trip is over
and the attendant
opens the gate
to let mom out
we follow waiting
down Baltimore Pike
we leave knowing
you are circling your plane
to approach and land soon
so mom can fly free
and see you take off again
with her by your side
high in the Ferris wheel
the sky at dusk tastes young
as if all these tomorrows never passed
and we are together again
at the amusement park
with mom
dispensing tickets
and easy child thrills
now she needs you to come
hover while I pray
I know you are here
to bring mom home

wakingupslowly - thanks for your tenderness.
Trig - ha, I'm a brain puddle...but I must be putting on a good front.
