I got one thing among many from my mum
That still is with me to this day-
The ability to feel others pain
Though often I cannot say-
I feel so hurt when I see that those
Who lost someone chooses to talk of them-
As if they were to blame for all the wrongs
That happened in their life back when-
But I feel sad when a loved one passes
One that someone simply adored endlessly-
And their not being there anymore
Has them so lost and ever so sadly-
God knows as they that have gone do
That they are as of now just fine-
For they are free of all earths worries
And in a place that is ever divine-
They are always round watching until
Those that they wait for naturally arrive-
And we might think that they are dead
But in more ways than we know they are alive-
My mother told me she would come back
And prove of life after that be-
I never believed a word she said
But mum again proved me wrong you see-
She turned up on the very same day
And the same hour and the same date-
That I was born so long ago
Nine years after she died not a second late-
May God in heaven curse me so
If I tell one word of a lie-
Only those with little faith at all
Think we've lost them when they die-
A song I love to sing comes to mind
Some broken hearts never mend-
But I know deeply within my heart and soul
We will all see them all agen-
And still in looking and feeling deeply
I can feel so much the pain-
Of those that simply do not choose to know
That we will see them all again-
