I Cling To Her

Mom
 I cling to her
 As mama has a hard
 Time speaking 
 But I still try to listen
 To her motherly teachings.
 I cling to her
 As I walk beside her
 As she now stepping so slow.
 Because I never know.
 I cling to her
 While she get dressed
 And help her fix her hair
 Because the days she 
 Feeling weak,
 Her appearance she 
 Still cares.
 I cling to her
 When I ask her about
 Her day,
 Even though mama sometime
 Get her story's mixed up
 And she can't remember
 What to say.
 I cling to her
 As I take her to her doctor and he
 says the words Heat failure
 Oh Lord tell me what to do
 What more can my mama go through.
 I cling to her
 Because now easily when 
 She eatting she get choked
 Mama has gone through
 More than most.
 I cling to her. By
