A song/poem I wrote to mark the tenth annivesary of my Mommy's death. :'( |
Another person tells me that they understand Another person sends me their sympathies But in their minds I know they’re thinkin’ Man, I’m glad that’s not me. Another person tells me that it’ll get easier But no, oh no I don’t believe them Because thinking of you hurts me so Mommy, oh why did you have to go? Because it’s been ten long years And ten million tears And still this pain has no ease After ten long years And ten million tears I know you’ll never really leave I was only three You were only thirty six And now my protective wall Seemingly is made of bricks Ten years has come and gone so fast But I know you’re always with me You’re my guardian angel Guiding me safely Because it’s been ten long years And ten million tears And still this pain has no ease But after ten long years And ten million tears I know you’ll never really leave Sometimes I feel so lost and alone I feel cheated because you were taken But I keep my faith in God’s plan Even though my world was shaken Sometimes I don’t understand why God had to take you From your husband, daughter, and son I guess he needed another angel in Heaven He sure couldn’t have picked a better one I see the tear that comes to Daddy’s eyes Whenever we talk about you It makes me cry too Because I cannot remember you We all miss you down here in Ohio And someday I know we’ll meet once more At those pearly gates in the Promised Land And the pain of missin’ you will be no more We’ll hug and kiss Laugh and cry Talk and get to know each other And we’ll never, ever, again say goodbye. Because it’s been ten long years And ten million tears And still this pain has no ease After ten long years And ten million tears I know you’ll never really leave Because it’s been ten long years And ten million tears But I know to Heaven you flew After ten long years And ten million tears I will always love you |
