MAMA
There are some days I just can't take,
No matter where I look, I see your sweet face.
I sit with eyes closed in a dark filled room,
and catch a faint scent of your sweet perfume.
I know in my mind that you have passed away,
But, in my heart you shall always stay.
I miss you so much that it's hard to bear,
But when I close my eyes,
your sweet face is always there.
So, Mama, if you're standing near,
Won't you please lean down and wipe away my tears?
I know you went to heaven when you left me,
So, Mama please stay there and wait for me.
