Missing You as Holidays Near









~~designed by Aina~~


Missing You As Holidays Near

My mom's favorite time of year was christmas so I
miss her even more when it nears.

My mom died when she was fifty-six years old,

Just taking a nap when God decided it was time to go.

She seemed just fine before she fell asleep,

A sleep none expected would be that deep.

I remember so well that Sunday when they called me on the phone,

The only thought I had was that she was all alone.

She had worked the day before,just like any other,

I know it happens...it's just so hard when it's your mother.

Everyone says thats the way they would choose to die,

I should be thankful,I just wish I could have said good-bye.

My last memory of her is standing by my christmas tree,

Happy,cheerful...surrounded by her family.

The doctor said she felt no pain before she died,

He said she had a beautiful dream as she passed
to the other side.

So I'm grateful she went peacefully and in her sleep,

As her favorite time of year arrives my memories run deep.

I'll try to keep traditions alive that she loved so much,

They will never seem the same though,without my mother's
loving touch.
