An angel, my  sweet Mother dear

There's a special velvet cushion which I hold dear
A lovely cherished memory, a small soft square
Stuffed with silver tresses that I have sewed in there
In the sacred hollow lies strands of mother's hair

*:ˇ.♥*:ˇ.♥*:ˇ.♥*:ˇ.♥*:ˇ.♥*:ˇ.♥*:ˇ.♥

I recall one of my greatest moments
When she allowed me to comb her hair
Nothing else in my world ever did compare
So thick and beautiful blowing in the air

*:ˇ.♥*:ˇ.♥*:ˇ.♥*:ˇ.♥*:ˇ.♥*:ˇ.♥*:ˇ.♥
*:ˇ.♥*:ˇ.♥*:ˇ.♥*:ˇ.♥*:ˇ.♥*:ˇ.♥*:ˇ.♥

In curls falling to her shoulder
Just gleaming hanging there
She often wore it in a bun
Combed with great care  

*:ˇ.♥*:ˇ.♥*:ˇ.♥*:ˇ.♥*:ˇ.♥*:ˇ.♥*:ˇ.♥  
*:ˇ.♥*:ˇ.♥*:ˇ.♥*:ˇ.♥*:ˇ.♥*:ˇ.♥*:ˇ.♥  

The day she had it cut, I burst into tears
But her reason made itself quite clear
As she grew older, it did not seem fair
She lost the will to live as Father was not there

*:ˇ.♥*:ˇ.♥*:ˇ.♥*:ˇ.♥*:ˇ.♥*:ˇ.♥*:ˇ.♥
*:ˇ.♥*:ˇ.♥*:ˇ.♥*:ˇ.♥*:ˇ.♥*:ˇ.♥*:ˇ.♥  

He had passed on to heaven,
Then she did not really care
About her tresses which I treasured
My poor heart could not bear

*:ˇ.♥*:ˇ.♥*:ˇ.♥*:ˇ.♥*:ˇ.♥*:ˇ.♥*:ˇ.♥
*:ˇ.♥*:ˇ.♥*:ˇ.♥*:ˇ.♥*:ˇ.♥*:ˇ.♥*:ˇ.♥  


The lonely look in her eyes
As she sat lost in her chair  
So I saved those memories
And keep them very near

*:ˇ.♥*:ˇ.♥*:ˇ.♥*:ˇ.♥*:ˇ.♥*:ˇ.♥*:ˇ.♥
*:ˇ.♥*:ˇ.♥*:ˇ.♥*:ˇ.♥*:ˇ.♥*:ˇ.♥*:ˇ.♥  

In my velvet cushion which I cherish with care
