LETTER
TO MOMMA
I love you Momma, there's no doubt
You I cannot live without
You have always been there wrong or right
I remember well your kiss goodnight
Your gentle hand on my fevered brow
Your answer to every why and how
How do birds fly
And why did grandpa have to die
Momma how do you get to heaven
And why don't 3 and 3 equal 7
To raise me right I know you tried
And many times I know you've cried
When your words of advice, I pushed aside
Many mistakes I know I've made
When you, Momma, I disobeyed
But as I got older and life got harder
You became so much smarter
Many times your heart's been broken
By careless words that were spoken
I'm sorry Momma, for some were mine
Forgive me for the times I've been unkind
Now you're older and weak in heart
Someday soon, I know we'll have to part
When the time comes
When the Lord calls you home
Don't worry about me Momma
I'll be strong
Not on my own strength will I stand
Nor will I lean on any man
If you've taught me anything
And you've taught me a lot
There's only One I can depend on
And His name is God
So, it's on Him that I will lean
And to His hand I will cling
There's one more thing, Momma before
I put this to rest
When God handed out mothers
Momma, He gave me the best
Jesus took my precious mother by the hand and led her home on July 21, 2004. |
