Oh Mama, I Miss You

In memory of my friend's mama who passed away recently. My deepest condolences and prayers. Hugs and love.

Oh mama, I miss you

Oh mama, I miss you
I wish that you were here
It's my first birthday and Christmas
Without your love and care

I know it seems selfish
To want you back right now
'Cos you were in pain
You needed Heaven's power

You're resting up with God
His angels and our ancestors
You're up there with souls
Who've learned so much already

Could you impart some wisdom
A way to navigate this mess
Our lives are so very complicated
Even though we try our best

You can see I'm really trying
But sometimes it's pretty tough
I want to curl up in a ball
And forget that I have to get up

I'm grateful for my family
Their love and light helps me heal
But I still miss your essence
With every single part of my being

Oh mama, I miss you
Each and every day
This winter is so much colder
Without you warmth and grace
