Here today, gone tomorrow

this is for my mom...

One day you were here and the next were gone
we had no idea what went wrong.
You were my mother, my friend,
the one I could always count on til the end.
you were there when I needed a shoulder to cry on
a hug, a kiss, or just to listen
you always made me feel like I was special.

One morning you called, "I don't feel good."
you said
I took you to the hospital, 12 hours later
you were dead.
Why god, why?
Why did my mom have to die?
You took her to heaven, for that I am glad,
because now she is finally with my dad.
