I think of mama often, it was so hard to say good-bye
I love and miss her, never thought she'd ever die.
Not one day goes by when mamas' not in my thoughts.
I'll always remember life's' lessons she taught.

I learned unconditional love, forgiveness and fair play.
I'll remember with love all the words she had to say.
She never turned her back when things were going bad.
Held me, dried my tears, when I was lost and sad.

God, tell mama that I love her now I'm left here alone.
The seed of love was planted, now the harvest is sown.
She was always there, sometimes I made her life hell.
But God, please thank her, she taught life's' lessons well.

God, tell mama I miss her now she's with dad in heaven above
Watching over us with her heart filled with love.
One day in heaven we'll be together once more.
She'll be waiting with open arms, standing at Heaven's door.
