OLLY OLLY OXEN FREE

Written for the "Saddest Lines" competition    
Painting: "Mother and Child" by Pablo Picasso
   
   
The saddest thing    
I can't even remember    
I was six    
she was there    
my mom    
and then she wasn't    
no one will tell me    
when she'll be back    
or where she has gone    
just the Lord's Prayer    
said by my bedside    
to help me along    
   
Now a middle-aged man    
I still cry bitter tears    
I can't remember her    
only pictures    
it seems we had a good time    
when will the yearning stop?    
when will the hole be filled?    
by and by    
I'm told    
by and by
