Everything will be Alright

I remember those times back when I was a kid

When the world would come crashing

With all of its might.

No one could save me til Momma stepped in

To assure me that “everything will be alright”.

 

Life can be crazy.

Life can be cruel.

Sometimes you can’t tell what’s wrong from what’s right.

But Mom was the touchstone that made it all clear

Saying, “Don’t you know everything will be alright?”

 

I can still see her standing at the front door,

Her eyes filled with wisdom, without any fears,

Knowing the answer before I asked the questions,

Ready to wipe away all of my tears.

 

I hope that her days never turn dark and gray,

Hope that her future will always be bright.

But if she ever needs me

I’ll reach out my hand

And say, “Don’t worry, Momma,

Everything will be alright.”
