| Precious Mother |
| By: Barbara Ritter Mother left a while ago Leaving me here so sad and low Wondering at times if I can go on Now that my precious mother is gone She came to visit me last night Her eyes so clear and hair so white She sat down on my bed by me And placed her hand upon my knee I'm here my child she softly said I sat up straight and turned my head Please do not be alarmed my dear I'm doing fine that's why I'm here The roads are gold and all is glory Please my child do not worry I saw your dad the night I came He reached for me and called my name The love we shared is here forever No sadness, tears or problems....never Along beside him stood Dad and Mother Hand in hand with my little brothers I have a mansion on a hill I'll save your place, please know I will So dry your tears, I want no sadness Be happy for me, full of gladness I'm not alone, nor sick, nor sorrow My joy will grow greater with each tomorrow You now know about me dearest one So, live your life and carry on You have me always in your heart I'm in your memories; we'll never part I know you love me this is true But your earthly family is in need of you So let me go now to my new life Knowing your happy being sister, mother and wife Remember I haven't left you my dear Just came ahead to prepare your place up here I must go back home now, just wanted to say I'll be waiting for you to come one day Until your name is called from above Go on with your life and continue to love Live your life fully and don't despair Be happy knowing I've home at last, I’m there.
