That Was You Mom
Mom that was you who first was there
Tiny and helpless that was me
You taught me to eat and made me laugh
You were there when I was sick.
Mom that was you who really cared
You wiped my eyes and washed my feet
The sadness and lessons I had to learn
In your way you helped me understand.
Mom that was you who had to leave
Taken away so suddenly
The lies from others I had to live
You remained alive inside my heart.
Mom that was you I truely missed
Those years I needed you so bad
Many mothers took your place
I never thought badly of you.
Mom that was you who really knew
The pain we lived inside
Putting the past behind us now
Life made sense once again.
Mom then I learned that was you
The woman I emulated passed down from heredity
I couldn't explain where it all came from
Being with you my questions answered.
Mom then you became so sick and weak
You would pass before my crying eyes
Your last breath sent you away
To Heaven, where you now reside.
Mom if I could tell you that it is you I miss today
Another Mothers Day without you here
Knowing in my heart you are finally free
A lifetime in my heart that's where you will always be.
