From up above the Angel's came Calling out our Mother's name Her hand she reached, For the Angel's to take But then she started to hesitate She had so much to live for, she didn't want to die And then a tear came to her eye and she began to cry She thought of all the ones she loved, the ones she'd leave behind She thought of all the things she'd miss, the days ahead she may not find Why was this happening, it wasn't fair, she'd really like to know, She wasn't ready to leave us, it's not my time to go She knew the pain she would endure, if she was to stay Meds and drugs, all of that, would be part of her every day She fought with all the strength she had, determined not to leave To stay here with her children, whom she didn't want to grieve We looked at one another, knowing what was in stow Then we gently told our Mother, that it was ok for her to go One by one we shared with her, the promise of our love As we reminded her of those who awaited, somewhere up above We stroked her oh so softly and wiped away her tears As we thanked her for all she'd given us throughout the years Mom, you have been so faithful, so caring and so true It is hard for us to imagine, our lives without you But you have given us, the one thing like no other The gift of love... a part of you, that will stay with us all forever And then she started to realize, as she always told us so Things happen for a reason and this must be her time to go. So when tomorrow starts without you Mom, don't think we're far apart For every time we think of you, you'll be right here in our heart. We love you Mom, with every breath we take, you will always be a part of each and every one of us!
