Mama, I Cry Because
Mama, today you were on my mind, I felt you near me
Hearing you whisper my name, sweetly as could be
I turned around, but you were not there
Only the empty lonely space of rose scented air
I cry because I miss your gentle soul
The little girl in me needing you to hold
I cry when I need you to hug me so tight
Telling me that everything will be all right
I cry when I want to tell you the events of the day
But then I remember you are too far away
I cry for all that has happened since you have been gone
Oh Mama, maybe it is good that you have gone home
I cry when someone tells me of how their life you had touched
Mama for that they loved you so very very much
I look at your picture and see the love in your eyes
The love that came so naturally, you didn't have to try
I cry as I write these words that fill my heart
Mama sometimes it just tears me apart
I try not to show that my heart stays so blue
Mama, will I ever get past the pain of losing you
Only memories remain of the love that we shared
Pure and loving in ways I can not compare
But don't worry Mama, this sadness will be gone
When the Lord comes for me to carry me home
