Mama,
God saw you getting tired and a cure was not to be
So he put his arms around you and whispered “come to me”
With tearful eyes I watched you
And I saw you pass away
And although I love you dearly
I could not make you stay.
A golden heart stopped beating
Hard working hands at rest.
God broke my heart to prove to me
He only takes the best.
~I love & miss you so very much mama,
Rae-Rae
