Its Supposed To Be a Sad Day

I see you laying there so peacefully,your eyes are closed 
this is supposed to be a sad day, but nobody crying, everybody
laughing like nothing happen this is supposed to be a sad day.



I remember when i was a little girl all the fighting and agruging
we could never get along, maybe i'll cry tomorrow or maybe 
next week, this is supposed to be a sad day, but nobody's 
crying everybody laughing like nothing happening, this is 
supposed to be a sad day.


The sun is shining of so brightly, not a cloud in the sky, 
it seems so peaceful, this is supposed to be a sad day,
but nobody crying everybody laughing like nothing happening,
this is supposed to be a sad day.


Tomorrow our lives go on without you, i just want to say goodbye,
but i don't feel like crying,this is supposed to be a sad day,
but nobody crying everybody laughing like nothing happening.
this is supposed to be a sad day.


I see you laying there so peacefully, this is supposed
to be a sad day.

I Bet You Thought I Forgot Bout You

On this day, I remember you, I bet you thought i forgot
       all the good times we had,the way you used to tell me,
       how much you loved me, how you could never let me go,
       at the end of our date, all those special days are still there     
      


     On this day,I remember you,I bet you thought I forgot,
     the first time we met , how i kept pushing you away,
    how you kept on trying to go out with me, until fanilly
   i gave in, from that day on it didn't matter, we had to be together,
  


   On this day, I want you to know, I never forgot about you,
  even thought I left  for reasons, you will never understand,
  maybe you will always be mad, because of that, but i never
  forgot. I guess a part of me will always love you.

A Mother Love

A mothers love is like a quilt, each piece is like a bag of clothes that someone gives you as you mends the pieces together you remember all the times that you have with her little things come to mind, like when there wasn't enough to eat and she took a little to make enough for everyone to eat , when you hurt , she gives you something to fell better and she is there for you no matter what.with  each piece that you mend as a time of memories like your first day of school and you were so scared, but she told you it would be ok , little things  you never forget  like when you long walk to the outhouse. she walked you all the way there just to make sure we wasn’t scared, the memories I cherish the most is taking a bath in the big O tub all of us together  i will never forget  and that's just little things that we will never forget so So mom as you like sleeping we want you to know that we love you you are an incredible mom and we will cherish every moment that we spent with you we love you your children
