Mother's Silent Words
Weep not, dear sweet child,
Your mother lives in the sky
Remember she loves you
And will be keeping an eye
She is smiling so pretty
As she watches you grow
She is ever so proud
She wants you to know
She wants you to be happy
Not shed any tears
She wants you to be strong
To control all your fears
She holds in her hands
A trinket of her love
She’ll bestow on you, child
When you meet her above
Now, she wants you to know
It’s important to go on
Keep her in your heart, loving
And forever be strong
