Mother,

I kneeled down beside the bed

In the middle of the night,

Tears and heartaches fill my prayers

As I pray with all my might.

I know that your time is soon

And I know your end is near,

Yet I pray for a miracle

Through eyes filled with tears.

Lord, give her good days

Until you can call her home,

Because her legs are weak

She can’t walk alone.

And Mama was meant to roam

She got family and loved ones waiting for her

Behind the pearly gate

Can you tell them mom’s not ready

And they are going to have to wait.

For now, mom is busy

Busier than ever before,

Spending time with loved ones

And people she adores.

I’ll end this prayer

With one request…

Don’t make her suffer anymore

Because you’re getting the best.

I Love You So Much, Mom! Son, Chris.
