Thank You Mommy

Mommy when you held me in your arms that final night.
I wanted so much to be able to hug you back so tight.
When I felt your tears fall warm upon my face.
I wanted to reach out and your sadness to erase.



When I heard your sweet voice say "I love you" in my ear.
Mommy I was just so glad that you were near.
When you lightly brushed my hair with your gentle hand.
Mommy it was then that I could truly understand.



That you sure were my hero, unlike any other.
You always were to me the most loving mother.
I could hear you in the night as you quietly prayed.
You helped me Mommy to never, ever be afraid.



You told me of the angels that would come for me.
And Mommy you were right, I just wish that you could see.
That when my time to go to Heaven came I had no fear.
And as I left I touched your cheek and wiped away a tear.



I hugged you goodbye though you couldn't feel me.
Etched in my mind forever, your sweet face I will see.
Thank you Mommy, from me in Heaven up above.
Mommy, I didn't go alone, I took along your love.
