Mother's Day Without My Child

Mother's Day without my child
Is just another day;
A day that once held joy and cheer
Is forever gone to stay.

I know deep down inside my heart
My child is with me still;
And once a mother, always a mother
That according to God's will.

But today my heart is breaking
For the child I no longer can see;
This day has so little meaning
It's just another day for me.

Each night I pray and ask my God
Why He did this terrible thing to me;
His answer always remains the same
My child, one day it will be plain to see.

Without my child I can't go on
Mother's Day means nothing at all;
Am I still a mother since my child is gone?
God's answer I can now recall.

Once I make you a mother
I never change my mind;
You see, you are now a mother
Of a very different kind.

The angels I have chosen to come and live with me
Need to know their earthly mothers are well;
Since some day when their time on earth is through
They too will ring Heaven's golden bell.
