The song of a Mother

Treasured are the hours I spent with you

here in my bosom I have carried you

you have grown swiftly barely i noticed

Now you tower above me, I feel so blessed.

Kisses and hugs, laughter and tears

All these my children, together we shared

At times you were sick I could hardly sleep

Never would I allow harm to come as you rest.

Successes and failures you and i have achieved

All these I held so dear in my memory I kept

My heart now goes out to you as I try to reach

To touch each one of you for I am going to rest.

I know full well I wasn't that good

A mother for you to be forever treasured

My own little angels I wish I could hold back

The determined hand of death, the power I lack.

As i close my eyes and lie down on my bed

Gather round me, my children, let me see all your faces.

Don't ever forget me and the lessons I gave

I will wait for you in heaven for now I shall sleep.
