I awake each morning to start a new day
But the pain of losing you never goes away.
I go about the things I must do
And as the hours pass, I think again of you.
I want to call you and just hear your voice
Then I remember that I have no choice
For you are not there and now my heart cries
Just to see you again to tell you goodbye
To say Mom, I love you and I always will
And hope that much of you, in me you’ve instilled.
The day that you left, I just didn’t know
That you were going where I couldn’t go.
And now my memories of you are so dear
I want you to know how much I miss you and wish you are here.
Who now can hear me when I need to cry?
It so hard to tell you, “Mom goodbye.”
I’m hoping this message which carries so much love
Will somehow find its way to you in heaven up above.
Mom, although you are at rest
You’ll live forever in the hearts of those who loved you best.
Love you forever,
L. Lee
