My Mother
FOR MY MOTHER
Today I took a journey
I traveled to a place.
I saw my mother resting,
A smile upon her face.
I closed my eyes in sadness
and thought about our days.
It all became so clouded,
It seemed to be a haze.
Then suddenly I felt a touch so soft upon my cheek
A gentle voice came through the haze it was so mild and meek.
A voice so soft, a voice so sweet
and this is what it said.
I'll always be your mother,
I'll never go away,
For if you ever need me,
I'm just a thought away.
I raised you right
I know I did and this is how I know.
God would not have moved me from this earth,
If I had not met His goal.
