Dearest Mama,
I see how much you miss me and
wish I weren't gone.
I took a part of you with me the
day God called me home.
Please try to understand dear Mama,
that we're not that far apart,
For I'll be forever near because
I have your heart.
I know there's times you feel
there's no reason to go on,
you wish you could be with me,
and you have been all along.
Just because I went home and
I'm in the Master's hands
Doesn't mean I'm not still with you...
beside you's where I stand.
Plese try to understand dear Mama,
That I'll always love you so,
I can't stand to see you hurting
so there's something you should know.
Each time you feel the sunshine
upon your lovely face,
It's me smiling down upon you
and touching you with God's
sweet embrace.
Each night you're sad and lonely
and the tears you can't control.
I'm right there beside you and
I never will let go.
God told me to tell you that he
knows your pain inside.
For he lost his son too,
upon that cross he died.
He wasn't trying to hurt you by
calling me home so soon,
there's just plans that he had for
me that no one else could do.
I want to thank you dearest Mama,
for all you gave to me,
But most of all, I thank God
because you're the best mother
one could be.
So, each time you think of me
and tears fill your eyes,
when you feel like giving up,
just look up to the skies.
Life on earth is hard, I know,
but you must be so strong.
For I'll be forever with you until
God calls you home.
I loved you from the start and
I love you still,
Please don't give up, Mama, for
it's just not in God's will.
I never will forsake you,
I'll be there everyday,
I'll hold you in my angel wings
and guide you on your way.
Although, I'm gonna go now,
remember it's not for long.
For I'll stand beside you through
it all and I'm never really gone.
I love you more than words can say
and I hate to know you feel so lost.
Just remember we will meet again
