A Mother's Loss

(Lyrics)

While walking down the street--one day
I stopped at the park to see--the children play
They looked so young and carefree
My heart swelled inside
Looking at those children
Made me sigh

I went into the mall--to look around
I stopped at the food court--and I frown
'Cause all around me were children
Looking bored with nothing to do
And there were Mommy's yelling
At one or two

When I stopped at McDonald's--for a meal
The children were laughing--with some squeals
It made me happy
To be a part of this zoo
I forgot I no longer
Had you

I don't think I'll ever--forget
What it was like when I tucked you--in bed
I won't forget your smiles
Not even for awhile
My heart broke the day they said
You were dead

A mother shouldn't have--this pain
A hurt so bad it drives you--insane
But you had to go
Do your duty--that's true
Although I'm so proud, life is lonely
Without you
