That Was You Mom

Mom that was you who first was there Tiny and helpless that was me You taught me to eat and made me laugh You were there when I was sick. Mom that was you who really cared You wiped my eyes and washed my feet The sadness and lessons I had to learn In your way you helped me understand. Mom that was you who had to leave Taken away so suddenly The lies from others I had to live You remained alive inside my heart. Mom that was you I truely missed Those years I needed you so bad Many mothers took your place I never thought badly of you. Mom that was you who really knew The pain we lived inside Putting the past behind us now Life made sense once again. Mom then I learned that was you The woman I emulated passed down from heredity I couldn't explain where it all came from Being with you my questions answered. Mom then you became so sick and weak You would pass before my crying eyes Your last breath sent you away To Heaven, where you now reside. Mom if I could tell you that it is you I miss today Another Mothers Day without you here Knowing in my heart you are finally free A lifetime in my heart that's where you will always be.
