Please Dont Let Her Go
The call of a mother
the mean words of her children
the pain that lingers through the years
Her pain suffocates her
dying in a lonely place
waiting to be heard
she turns a lighter color
They try to save her
but their love is not enough
they stand in a white room
waiting for the words
the words no one wants to hear
Please dont let her go
let her stand oh lord
let her be with us
let her feel no pain
The lights dimmer
the ceiling falls
their standing underneath the sky
their mother stands before them
she tells them to let go of all the guilt
that has built up for she is safe and okay now
They stand as the light of there mother fades
there alone now standing underneath the black sky
their pain and guilt fades knowing there mother loves them and always will
Dedicated to Granny Helen Caccumise (you were like a mother to me and may you rest in peace)
