Momma

For weeks I've watched her slip away

her sweet and gentle face

How the moments of our time

within my mind do race...

Reliving precious memories

they pass me one by one

A treasure trove she leaves to me

I'll cherish everyone...

Sometimes she lets me know she's there

she understands my pain

Soon she'll leave me far behind

to God and Heaven's gain...

Momma, can you hear my voice

please tell me if you can?

Squeeze a little more tonight 

and still my shaking hand...

I'll stay right here beside your bed

you'll never be alone

I'll keep on praying to the Lord

until He calls you home...
