Taking Her To Heaven

Taking Her To Heaven What I went ahead and did was cry Then at the end they started to dry After all of them ran down my face Ended up going all over the place. When my face had been wiped clean It still looked like such a sad scene Tears not seen were welled up inside How hard to hold back I had tried. My mama she had to be moving on Way up to heaven where she has gone And was then that I started to realize Many dark clouds covered the skies. What most for long time I often feared Clouds grew darker until rain appeared And mama's life reached a brave end Her long way to heaven we have to send. Wishes went with her and knew they would And also our kisses which have withstood All life in itself and length of her love Thanked God for taking her to heaven above.
