Mom

M LEE AHMET 1983 (Putnam)



You've always said you would be there for me the very next day                            
When dawn came, and night had gone away.                                                       
There's never a day that goes on by, where I don't stop to think                    
When I don't start to cry                               
I never thought to see you again would take so long                                        
Where are you, Mom                                 
When you're supposed to be here guiding me through life?                                
And teaching me right from wrong            
I knew I would always be your little girl
Even though I'm now sixteen                            
I knew we had the kind of love            
That would never fade                       
Would never die                                   
When you left                                            
There was nothing left for me to do      
But sit there and cry and cry                 
As I think of you and all the good times we have once been through                                     
I know my guardian angel is watching over me from above                                     
I know my guardian angel is no one else but you                                                             
I know we'll be together before very long
On that day, I knew you were there right in front of me
But I realized you were gone...
