MY MOTHER, MY ANGEL

Your birthday’s coming soon, and I just want you to know,
that I miss you, my dear mother, and my heart just can’t let go.
I know you’re sleeping with the angels, and know you’re now one too,
I find myself wondering daily if I can really lead a life without you.

My precious mother, my angel, how my heart aches.
Do I really have the strength to do what it takes,
to carry on without you and keep the vow made,
or has my life become meaningless, only a charade?

How do I speak to my angel now that she’s no longer here?
Who do I turn to now to chase away the fear?
Happy Birthday, Mom, you’ll always be in my heart.
The memories we share are like a work of art.

My angelic mother, please reserve a seat for me
on that special cloud where I’ll one day be.
God will hold you until then, of that I am sure.
I only wish for the pain felt now, that there was a cure.
