Saying Goodbye

As painful as it was to tell u goodbye,
I  kneeled at your bedside held your hand and I started to cry...

You always helped me through  times of heartache, pain, anger and tears,
You were the mother I needed these past 8 years...

You always reminded me that I was never alone,
 With all the unconditional love you constantly showed...

And in my heart I know this isnt really goodbye,
 Because you'll be watching us from heaven like a gaurdian angel in the sky...
