My Mom, My Anchor

I would always say 
Mama, I'm going away
Living on this earth,
No longer can I take
In my life, I have just made
Way too many mistakes 
Years of hurt and pain
Just what in life
Is there for me to gain
Thirty-one years ago, 
Life changed for me
Started to see things, 
I could never see
Mom reminded me
There are  hopes and dreams
Still out there for you
Never give up on yourself 
You will pull through
Mom was my anchor 
In my life here 
Many times, so many things
She tried to make  clear
So glad she is in my life, 
Couldn't make it without her, is so 
She is a blessing to me
That I definitely know
