You never said "I'm leaving"

You never said goodbye

You were gone before I knew it,

And only God knows why

A million times I will need you,

A million times I will cry

If Love alone could have saved you,

You never would have died

In Life I loved you dearly

In death I love you still

In my heart you hold a place,

That no one will ever fill

It breaks my heart to lose you,

But you didn't go alone

For part of me went with you,

The day God took you home.

-Love, Mom XO-
