I'Ll Never Forget You

I'll never forget you.


I'm still a boy inside and sometimes I still need to cry.
If this makes me not a man, then I don't mind.
I'm supposed to be strong for you, 
For you have no strength left to fight.
But I'm simply too beaten, 
To stop the tears pouring from my eyes.


I thought you'd always be there, if ever I got in trouble;
But you’re slowly and painfully bursting that bubble.
My protection is going; I can't do this without you.
Please try to keep your eyes open;
To delay my heart from being broken.


I hope you know I'll always love you 
And I hope this finally ends your pain.
For you never did anything to deserve this;
I'll think of you each times it rains.
Because the dark clouds brought us down, 
Whilst the sunshine made us happy.
So I'll never forget your last words, 
Or the fact you gave me a family.


Or the fact you loved me when no-one else would have;
I'll never forget those times, you and I laughed.
I'll never forget those times, I made you cry.
Please forgive me, I never meant to hurt you; 
I was just a silly child.
Who made mistakes, just as adults do;
But I'll always know that you'll love me, whatever I do.


And I'll always love you, for you gave me my life
And you never did, judge my choice of Wife.
You were always there, for us and our child
And you'd always make us happy;
Just being with you made us all smile.


So I thank you Mom, for everything you've done for me
And all those times, you lent me money
And every time, you were there for me.
I'll never forget you Mom
And when you’re gone, I hope you never forget me.
