Mum died 18 months ago......it feels like yesterday!This one I wrote as a song....

As you lay there in your final disguise…..I know you have heard when I talk to your eyes

I feel my heart break when you take to the sky……my world falls apart … my soul starts to cry


I don’t want ..to feel this way….I don’t want to be here today

I just want… to hear you say…come here baby….I’ll take you away

Here….I……go

Here……I …go

Come here baby..I´ll take you away…  along the road where you’ll want to stay
Come here baby I’ll hold your hand …make it right….. help you to stand

Here …I…..go

Here ….I …..go


Here they come now to turn off the light……empty the world..  deprive us of sight
Here they come now to take you away…..strike us dumb……leave nothing to say


I’d follow you…  if only I might…….tear down the walls..give heaven a fight

To hear you say …just one more time ….come here baby I’ll help you stand

Here …I…..go

Here… I ….go

Ray, I lost my mother 28 years ago and it still seems like yesterday at times

I love this song of yours!

Ray, the last thing I imagine that you were expecting to hear is that I envy you so much - you and Passing Shadows.  However, that doesn't mean that my heart isn't torn apart for your pain.  I wish you strength, courage and the ability to allow beautiful memories make you smile, even if only a little.

you are all so kind but owl   your pain sears into me ...I am new here so forgive me if you have explained this before ...but I understand from your message that maybe you didn´t know your mum?.....so sad indeed;I am sure ...and I say this from a non religious stance....that your mother thinks / thought about you every day!
love to you all....Ray

Thank you Ray for your concern.  No, I knew my mom all right.  I knew her only too well.
