My Mom

I'll tell you a story
One of love and loss
It will make you see
That I miss my Mommy

As I recall my happy past
I shed a tear for the one I lost
Swim in the sweet memory
In my heart Mom , you will always be

So shine your loving light
Down on this sore heart of mine
So when I look up at night
I'll know you are fine

Don't be afraid my son
I'm watching you from afar
One day you will come
To join me on this star

This is so beautiful Brandon. Truly a touching piece. I lost my Father three years ago and I can relate to how you must be feeling. That feeling of if only God can send them down just for 1 day. Stay Strong and remember, one day we will meet our loved ones again. Take care "B"
