Dear mother,
The dreaded day arrived
As did tearful eyes
Gathering around to pray
With no haunting goodbyes.
Skin turned ice cold
Surroundings now black
Gone to never return
There’s no going back.
The tears shed that day
Were out of pure love
For we know you’ve been led to heaven
By the purest, whitest dove.
With a heart of pure gold
You’ve stayed by my side
What I would’ve given to know
It’d be our last ride.
The touch of a mother
Has the power to heal
Surely you could never find
A love as deep and real.
