I never thought the day would come,
That mother would leave me all alone,
But here I sit and listen,
For her to call me on the phone.
I know she will call for she has my number,
And if I could call I surly would,
But then the lines are always busy,
Trying to reach their loved ones if they could.
My message is so important,
I want to tell her that I love her so,
I never told her enough before,
Before it was her time from this earth to go.
I'll leave my line to Heaven open,
And pray her call will be coming soon,
So I can hear her sweet voice again,
In the morning or maybe this afternoon.
Oh Lord, I can't wait to hear,
That my time is nearly here,
For mother and I to be together again,
So our souls will be for ever near.
