What are you waiting for?
My mother passed away 3 years ago, April 28th. When my brother told me she didn't have long, I started writing this song for her. I couldn't make it past the first verse until Mother's Day the following month. The words started flowing as if she were sitting there with me whispering what to write. The page was soaked when I was done, but I managed to finish it. I've seldom shared it with anyone, as it is quite personal. I would appreciate any feedback.
I'll Be Your Friend For Life (Momma's Song)
I remember it like yesterday, when I was only twelve.
That little church out in the woods, where Momma taught us well.
One night during invocation, there appeared to me a light.
And in it stood this scarred up man, He said it's time to change your life.
(CHORUS)
He said come with Me take My hand everything's gonna be just fine.
I got these scars by saving you that cross to bare was Mine.
And if you take the wrong road trust in Me and you'll be allright.
Cause I'm your Father, I'm your Brother, and I'll be your friend for life.
My Momma was an angel, she raised seven of us.
She didn't smoke, she didn't drink, and you never heard her cuss.
One day at eighty seven, she gave up her fight.
And That Man came to her in her sleep and said it's time to leave this life.
(CHORUS)
He said come with Me take My hand everything's gonna be just fine.
I got these scars by saving you, that cross to bare was Mine.
And if you take the wrong road trust in Me and you'll be allright.
Cause I'm your Father, I'm your Brother, and I'll be your friend for life.
I miss my Momma every day, so I pray to Him each night.
That some where up there in the stars, she's found a better life.
Each one who's life she ever touched will never be the same.
So I pray for His forgiveness, so that I'll see her again.
(CHORUS)
And He said, come with Me take My hand, everything's gonna be just fine.
I got these scars by saving you, that cross to bare was Mine.
And if you take the wrong road, trust in Me and you'll be allright.
Cause I'm your Father, I'm your Brother, and I'll be your friend for life.
Yes I'm your Father, I'm your Brother, and I'll be your friend for life.
