My Mother, My Friend
When the night is sleeping
But sleep won’t come
It’s then that I talk to you
As my tears come undone
You once stood beside me
Always cheering me on
Can’t believe it’s been so long
Since you’ve been gone
I loved you then
Even more so now
I beg you now please
Please show me how
To go on living
Day by day
Light my path
Show me the way
It’s hard not seeing your face
See the laughter in your eyes
I ask you God
WHY.
Why was she taken
So far from earth
I love You Mom
For all it’s worth.
Someday I know
I will see you again
My Mother,
MY friend.
