Mothers Day Celebration

Gathered as usual to celebrate the mothers day One by one the children went up to say Just how much they loved their mom While they call on her to join them on stage. Earlier today on media and social networks The pictures and stories of moms filled every where Now it was time to proclaim to everyone What a wonderful gift you've got for a mom. Friends and family want this day pass me by But I needed to be on stage to sing a lullaby The very one mom taught me and others And to tell them I love my mom as well. I mount the stage just like the others Brilliant eyes and hungry ears wait in expectation Though I didn't call mom to join me there But I told my story nonetheless. And when I finished in a voice so soft but clear I could see a spark of tear in everyone's eye For I told them of a bond so rare And I sang of a love so dear. "Mom would have come but for her journey Though she couldn't make it but I don't love her less I'll say all about her, it will help you imagine First you should know how much she loves me so. She loves to tell me stories and taught me how to cook She tends to my injuries and taught me how to farm Although you can't see her, I'm not standing here alone She's always a thought away, that means she's here with me. I'm proud to stand for the love we shared I know she'd be here but heaven is too far She was a true soldier who died at her post Fourteen years of diabetes, she couldn't fight her ghost. Sometimes when I close my eyes, it's like she never left," So I closed my eyes on stage and there she was beside me I think others wanted to see her too, for when I opened my eyes A room filled with mothers and children, had their eyes all closed. I think if they didn't see her, they at least felt her presence For a very cold breeze blew across the hall and carried with it a sweet scent! And for a moment I had this relive, that heaven is never too far And this year mothers day celebration, I can say is my best.
