A year ago we said goodbye, in a little room, just my Mama and I.
It's my time to go, I heard her say, I won't be here another day.
I wasn't sure if I believed, so we joked and talked until time to leave.
I turned and said, Mama, I love you and she replied I love you too!
Those were the last words we would say, she passed away the very next day.
She used to say don't grieve and cry, when it comes my time to die.
I've loved the wonderful time I've had, I'm with my Lord and with your Dad.
God tells you when it's time to go, your body tells you, you will know.
Don't be afraid as I used to be, it's a time of peace and tranquility.
By God's rules I have tried to abide, now it's time to see the other side.
For a year now I've prayed and grieved, but mostly I have just believed,
That even in her final day, she still was showing me the way.
I try to be more living and giving, hold fewer grudges and do move living.
In her memory I carry on and forever nurture our special bond.
I miss my Mama more than I can say, my tears are flowing still today.
But slowly I am getting alongm with a happy heart and a family strong.
God has blessed me with his grace and I know she is in a happy place.
God Bless mothers and daughters everywhere, tell each other often how much you care.
Then when the time comes for you to part, you will not have a heavy heart.
The good times you will not forget and you will live with no regret.
These words I write in Mama's honor today, so others will come to know the way.
Don't be afraid and live in fear, love God and live in the now and here.
And someday you'll l have a memory, like the one I have of my Mama and me.
