The Grieving Mother

I wasn’t asked if I was ready
No answers to my “Why?”
I had only just said hello
When I was forced to say goodbye.

All I Wanted Was A Hero

All I wanted was a savior
Who saw the signs of pain 
The darkness deep inside my eyes
The hate flowing through my veins 
I forced a smile everyday
Made sure to hide the truth
I wanted to protect you
When you’re the one who stole my youth

Coming Home To You

I see the gates in front of me,
The flowered fields that sway
My eyes have started searching for,
The pieces of my heart that were taken away.

For Them

When people comment on my strength 
The thing that they don’t see
Is if I’d had a choice
I’d have you here with me 

They asked me how I do it
Like it’s really up to me
If I could rot away in bed
That’s exactly where I’d be 

But your brothers need me now
And as hard as it gets some days
They deserve a mother
Who’s made the choice to stay

Don’t think in the beginning
It was an easy one
Too many days to count
I wished I’d joined you son 

It’s not strength that helps me through 
These days so hard to breathe
I still can’t see the reason
That you had to leave 

Just know that I’ll keep fighting
This battle every day
And when someone’s asks me how I do it
“For them” is what I’ll say
