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.
