Forever All the Time

I hear your trembling voice
and see your tear stained face
my heart feels these things
because my pain can't be erased

one day he was here,  
happy as could be
then like a fading rainbow
he was taken from me

the emptiness in my heart
that only he could fill
nothing makes it go away
I keep repeating, "this can't be real"

a mothers love is special
different from other kinds
loving all her children
forever, all the time

when one is taken
nothing is the same
everything is different
my heart calls his name
