All I need is her presence

If I were to be stranded

I would not be abandoned

All I need is her presence

I would fear no island

Whilst laughing and smiling

All I need is her presence

If I were to be bruised

I would not feel abused

All I need is her presence

With my mother not by my side

I feel as though I may die inside

All I need is her presence

I shall not request much

But love is her touch

Nothing can surpass a mother’s presence

Not mental successes

Nor physical blessings
