Tears can not stream down my face
My mother, now in a better place
Her suffering, and her pain, are gone
But with me her memory will live on
My loss is great, my heart is broken
I remember every word that was spoken
I hear it, like it was yesterday
I almost don't know what I should say
She now watches over me from above
Sending me her unconditional love
Even despite my imperfections
She offered me her protection
From all the unjust things in life
She endured the pain and strife
Doing the best that she could do
Always telling me to think it though
When I was quick to let my anger go
Mother, I will miss you so
My voice is cracking, with unshed tears
She was there though my toughest years
Loving me unconditionally, until the end
Not just my mother, but my best Friend
She meant the entire world to me
Because she's the one who helped me see
That love is unconditional, despite the imperfections
As I look at my mirrored reflection
I realize that she made me what I am today
Mother, I love you, is all that I can say.
