I Pray For Mother

I pray for mother Mother! You could have stayed Forever was my longing Oh mother! Does it really have to be you? Mothers are too special to lose You gave me life mother You raised me into a man I am today I will forever be grateful to you Out of nothing, you gave me food Out of nothing, you clothed me Out of nothing, you sent me to school Oh mother! You were the best In your shadow I had shade You called me Father. For I carried grandfather’s name Now I understand how special I was to you You felt grandfather in me Who will ever call me that again? I forbid my thoughts to go deep For the deeper it goes, the deeper it hurts I can still hear your voice mother I can still see you in my dreams You left without saying good-bye, Were you mad at me mother? Deep in my heart, you will always have a home My sisters and brothers are heartbroken They are all grown up But they still need you Mother Do you still remember your grandchildren? The youngest is not yet a year old She will never see your beautiful smile mother You could have waited So she does something for you Fetch water or call you grandmother We all miss you mother It’s hard to know you are never coming back One after another We will join you mother We are not afraid of death any more For we have a place with you God almighty will meet us someday Then I will see you for myself again We will talk and laugh Just like we used too Now you live in a far away land We can’t change that, not even God almighty I will teach my heart to live without you mother Though it is hard I will learn to miss you I will learn to live without you But I will never forget you It’s the body I will never see Your time is gone Mother Now you live in a new world There you will never grow old There you will never die I have peace in my heart For I am reconciled by God’s mercy My father in heaven comforted me Now I know you are happy there The pain I felt The pain that tortured me Will never torment me again You departed with all my tears With all my strength With all my hope And with all my faith But God gave me a thousand reasons to smile In am now back on track Rest in peace dear mother, It was the will of God Who am I to question him? I never did when you were given to me And somehow I knew this day will come Let his name be exalted We meet again Mother This I know.
