Linda

I think about the days we spent in Crockett

The quiet way you’d always make the time

You’d sit and listen closely to my worries

Giving everything to comfort mine

You always keep your heart completely open

Taking on the weight of what I feel

I know I keep my feelings under cover

I don't always show how much I care

But with all of your compassion as a mother

Whenever I might need you, you are there

I might not say the words the way I ought to

But I love you more than I let on

You have a way of repeating your stories

Saying every little sentence twice

Making sure I heard the words you've spoken

Making sure I carry your advice

It always brings a smile to my memory

Those little echoes of your gentle grace

I know I keep my feelings under cover

I don't always show how much I care

But with all of your compassion as a mother

Whenever I might need you, you are there

I might not say the words the way I ought to

But I love you more than I let on

Oh Linda, don't mistake my quiet distance

My gratitude is deeper than it seems

For every time you gave without condition

And built a steady shelter for my dreams

Even when I leave the words unspoken

I hold onto the love that we have built

I know I keep my feelings under cover

I don't always show how much I care

But with all of your compassion as a mother

Whenever I might need you, you are there

I might not say the words the way I ought to

But I love you more than I let on

Yeah, I love you more than I let on
