In Memory of My Mum
Original version january 2015
Though I fear she's gone forever
and her smile I cannot see
I still have so many moments
when I feel her here with me
she seems to show me things are just fine
and we'll meet again someday
and now i know, though I cant see her
it doesn't mean she's gone away
Our memories I will keep forever
and even though we are apart
She may reside among the angels
but she lives within my heart.
Revised Version March 2015
It once seemed she had gone forever
her smile I could no longer see
Her voice no longer spoke her blessings
Her arms had ceased to comfort me
At times when I was feeling so low
when sadness loomed so endlessly
I'd pray for just one final moment
It's her I'd seek, yet could not see
There are still so many moments
when I fear what is unknown
And if I could walk right up to heaven
I'd go right now and bring her home
but we can't change the way things happen
Cannot choose the way things are
We can only hope and pray our loved ones
Shine like diamonds 'midst the stars
Our memories are mine forever
and even now, so far apart
while she's dancing with the angels
she still sings within my heart.
Until we meet again... I love you mum ***
