I CAN NO LONGER STOP BY YOUR HOUSE
IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DAY
NOR...CAN I SPEAK TO YOU ON THE PHONE
FOR IT'S IN HEAVEN, THAT YOU STAY



I THOUGHT IF I WROTE YOU A LETTER
YOU MIGHT SEE IT...FROM ABOVE
I WANTED TO WRITE AND SAY THESE THINGS
ADDRESSING THEM TO YOU WITH LOVE



I WANT YOU TO KNOW I THANK YOU
FOR ALL YOU DID FOR ME.......
LESSONS YOU TAUGHT ON SO MANY THINGS
AND TIME ...THAT YOU GAVE SO FREE



YOURS WAS THE SHOULDER I CRIED ON
YOU WERE MY SHELTER IN A STORM
ALWAYS THERE WHEN I NEEDED YOU
IT WAS YOUR HUGS...THAT KEPT ME WARM



YOU WERE ALWAYS MY INSPIRATION
I WANTED TO BE LIKE YOU
SUCH A VERY SPECIAL MOTHER
UNDERSTANDING, LOVING AND TRUE



I SO APPRECIATED ALL THESE THINGS
AND I MISS YOU SO...EACH DAY
YOU LEFT BEFORE I HAD A CHANCE
TO SAY WHAT I WANTED TO SAY



I BELIEVE THAT YOU WILL READ THIS
DOWN THROUGH THE CLOUDS...HERE BELOW
KNOWING I MEAN THIS WITH ALL MY HEART
MY LOVE FOR YOU WILL FOREVER GROW


SO...BEING THAT I CAN'T VISIT
OR LOOK YOU IN THE EYE
MY HOPE IS TO SEE YOU IN HEAVEN
UNTIL THEN MOM...GOODBYE!
