Mother's Love

As I look back into my past Sweet memories fill my mind, How the time went oh so fast I wish I could rewind. Go back to when my biggest fear Was pissing off my dad, His lectures I would have to hear When I did something bad. Sometimes Grandma got involved When we kids would fight, A switch would deem the problem solved And put us all to flight. But when I fell and skinned a knee Or someone broke my heart, The only one to comfort me Was with me from the start. With gentle hands to dry my tears For me there was no other, Her snow white wings would calm my fears That Angel was my Mother. Her love I never had to doubt The groundwork she had laid, For me to grow and soon move out How I wish I'd stayed. Life went by at such a speed It all was just a blur, She taught me all I'd ever need Except living without her. My life will never be the same Her love I can't replace, Often, I still call her name I long to see her face. One day soon we'll meet once more My heart will then be whole, A reunion I am waiting for Now Heaven is my goal.
