"To Mama"

I think of you in silence
no eyes may see me weep
but many silent tears are shed
while others are asleep

If I had all the world to give
I'd give it, yes and more
to see your face, and her your voice
and meet you at God's Door

Peaceful be your rest Mama
it is sweet to breathe your name
As in life, I loved you dearly
so in death, we do the same

In our hearts your memory lingers
sweetly, tender, fond and true
there is not a day Dear Mother
that I do not think of you...
