Goodbye Mama

Bye Mama
I have come of age now
I moved on and became a father
You were the pillar of my life
It is not easy to say farewell
You instilled values within me
Thinking of you
It takes me back to my childhood
And as far as I could see
It feels funny 
Saying goodbye to you now
You've been gone for twenty one years
Though I've grown 
My thoughts kept you nearby with tears
I've always known in my heart
I am not alone
Every time I looked to the sky
I know I have Adonai
So Mama goodbye
