LETTING YOU GO....

Your body is gone, it went away

So still & calm on that day

You looked so lovely with that warm smile

Too sad, you could'nt stay with me awhile

I remember the good, I remember the bad

But all the way through, its you I always had

Through thick & thin, wear & tear

But now you 'll be with me only in prayer

It came too soon, It came too fast

How much time is in the future, & gone is the past

It seems you are gone forever, gone for good

But you'll always love me, you promised you would

So even though I cry, even though I sob

I know in the bottom of my heart

You'll always continue your job

To take care of me, the way no one else can 

From the moment it perished, from the moment it began

" I'll be there ", you whispered

I was too young to understand

Only now do I realize, when I hold your cold hand

That you were going to a foreign land

To love, To hold me, keep me from danger

Your only fear was, I would be a loveless stranger

But it could'nt be farther from the truth right now

For that to happen to you, I could'nt allow

We'll be together again, that's for sure

For my heart, that's the only known cure

All I can do now is cherish the time

When you & I were the perfect rhyme

That's the only reason why I can get through it

Because even for death, we would never split

So even though I wish you were with me

Its time to let you go, mommy,

& set you free...
