Mother, how could this be? Why did you go far away, so far away from me? Where I cannot touch you or hear your loving voice. Where I cannot see your face or smile that cheered me up. Mother, I need you in my life. Tears are falling down my face, I feel like I want to die. I need to touch your hands, those that kept me warm, those I always held on to when I felt like I would fall. I need to hear your voice, the one that gave me strength, and the sweetness I always heard when I needed my best friend. I need to see your face and smile that lit my world, your eyes that said all without you saying a word. Mother, I know heaven called for you, but why did you leave me here? Why did you go so soon? © Copyright, 2001 All Rights Reserved
