Hurry Back

She calls her family together To tell each one goodbye From the oldest to the youngest Her children begin to cry She's fought this fight for many years But this cancer is much too strong Her will to live is fading fast And she knows it won't be long Her daughter asks when she'll be back She's too young to understand Only four years old, a tear escapes As she holds her mother's hand She says, "Mama you have to hurry back, For I'm going to miss you so" She climbs into her mother's bed And begs her not to go Her mother tells her not to cry As she wipes her tear stained face I'll always be inside your heart You'll carry me every place I'll be the breeze that kisses your cheek When sadness comes to call I'll be the smell in the autumn leaves That ushers in the fall I'll be your comfort when times get bad And in everything you lack And as her mother passes away She whispers, "Hurry Back"
