Mom

Every day I 
 Think about you
 I wish you
 Could of stayed
 In the spring as I
 Step out side
 And the bird begin to sing
 It made me think about our pretty
 Flower beds
 But first you made a little 
 Lettuce patch
 You just dug up some dirt in the grass.
 I wish you Could
 Of stayed
 When a old time song
 Start playing On the radio
 In my car.
 I never gave it much thought
 How you may not be here tomorrow.
 I wish you
 You could of stayed
 As summer get a lot warmer
 And I know how you
 Love going to buy a 
 Ice cream cone
 Butter pecan was your pick
 I can still see you sitting
 In my car back seat
 Just enjoying it with
 Every lick.
 I wish you
 Could of stayed.
 I can still hear you
 Voice calling out
 Every time I leave the house
 Remember Becaurful 
 While your driving your car
 And there evil people
 Walking on the streets
 Now listen to what I said
 In today paper that
 What I read.
 I wish you
 Could of stayed.
 Can you smell that fresh
 Baked bread
 You know you made the
 Best biscuits I had
 Ever had.
 I such you Could 
 Of stayed
