"the Woman That Gave Me Life"

The woman that gave me life I miss her everyday.
The oldest is Frances and the baby is Kay.
I'm in the middle but that was mama's way.

The woman that gave me life my love to her I send.
My heart is broken and now she's gone it'll never mend.
Everyone misses her exspecially her family and friends.

The woman that gave me life she was always there.
To dry my tears and pick me up when I felt dispaired.
Give us all the love she had and show us how much she cared.

The woman that gave me life"my life will never be the same".
Cause when she passed I had no one on earth to blame.
I'll always remember the woman that gave me life cause
                         I'll always carry her name.
