Sweet Mother! Sweet Mother!!Sweet Mother!!!

Sweet Mother! Sweet Mother!!Sweet Mother!!! Suddenly my heart leaped within me My eyes shedding tears in remembrance of the memories of yester years Just like yesterday fresh and glaring was decade ago In the midst of deep thought did my soul slumbered Immediately my mind paved way for memories of yesterday Every night my spirit morn you for the fear of what tomorrow holds Then I smile, now I realize so I cry for tomorrow Knowing how painful it feels without a caring and passionate mother Just like yesterday I remember your tender touch and how you natured my infancy even when I knew not my left from my right Clearly and softly your voice echoed into my hearing singing and talking me to sleep You guided me through the turbulence of infancy You stood by me in the midst of raging storm When my spinal cord could not carry my body You went starving for years just to make me survive Night toppled nights yet you stayed awake to steadily steering at me to ensure my safety In your arms I opened my eyes day and night Each time I stand to walk and fall Quickly you rush towards me and pick me up Whispering calmly to my hearing that you can do it son But suddenly the greatest adversity rolled in like a thief at night Snatching you away from me and left me hanging in the cloud to face tomorrow all alone Sweet mother! Sweet mother!! Sweet Mother!!! I can not believe you gone so soon to the land of no return In great pain and agony I itch my flesh to the bone screaming at the top of my voice and pleading to see your face one more time During the day I frown and dine in loneliness But the moon appears calmly at night just like encouraging words telling me that tomorrow will be better Your words give me the strength to carry on in life Pushing me from day to day You are my treasure and my only friend In my heart I keep the memories of you Rest In peace dearest mother and let your soul find comfort in the heavenly places with lots of love.
