For a Grieving Mum

Mum, don’t cry, I want to see you smile I am okay mum, in a safe place I am happy mum, except when I see your sad face Don’t cry mum, I am okay You did your best for me, mum, you tried so hard To protect me, to shield me, to raise me You gave me a good home You did it all alone I love you mum, you know I always did I know you love me mum, just the way you always did Some things just happen You never know why You are the best mum I could ever have had You chose and did good things for me Even on that fateful day mum You chose good for me If I had to live all over again, mum I’d want to live it again with you I’d always only be your daughter You’ll always be my mum It wasn’t your fault mum, that car came out of the blue And in a second our whole world changed mum, I was gone from you Some things just happen It’s sad but it’s true It will be hard for you mum, when you put my toys and clothes away It will be hard for my brother, when he wants someone to play But remember mum, I lived my life to the full And it was all just because of you So mum though your tears haven’t dried Please don’t stop to try You filled my life with love mum I don’t want to see you cry.
