Summary: Things John wanted to make sure his mother knew. Conveyed by me, but written by John Tracy.

YOU KNEW


You knew you'd see me in some far-off way
You knew you wouldn't be here to watch
You knew I'd shine like a distant star
You knew I would come into my own
You knew I'd grow to the man I am now
You knew how much I'd miss you
You knew how leaving me would hurt
You knew my future, you saw it all
You knew how much I loved you, needed you
You knew how your laugh made me laugh
You knew how your tears made me cry
You knew the sound of your voice soothed me
You knew how I needed you those lonely nights
You knew as you sat reading to me
You knew as you kissed my forehead
You knew when the contractions hit
You knew when you told me you loved me for the very last time
You knew, Mother. You always knew.
And now I know.

Thank you.
