Six Feet of Life

You all stood silent as they lowered my body down. Tears fell from women cheeks silently as my body reached its sacred ground. I prayed for you to smile in belief Remember with God above I feel no grief. I made the choices I made them with ease. so don't you cry for me I am begging you please.

God if you are there please let her know I really do care. Tell her I love her and I wish her peace. Tell her I prayed for her release. Oh and God, Tell her I love her and always will. Tell her shes the one that taught me to feel. Written for my mother in 1999 when I was diagnosed with cancer and lived to hear her myself, as she and only she tried to understand.
