It's been nine years Mom, since the day you went to the heavens above
Every moment since I've missed you, sending you a lifetime of love
I wonder sometimes if you hadn't gone that day
What in my life would be different today?

It still hurts, though confusion and pain has turned to more understanding
I realise now that life of us can be at times extremely demanding
I know all things happen for a reason
That those we love are only here for a passing season

I remember so many things, so many memories
about you flood my head
Like how you were always there after school,
and always reminding me to make my bed
I remember how involved you were, and how
everyday you showed us your love
Oh how I wish you hadn't been taken to the clouds above

Sometimes I miss you more than others, but always you are deep inside my heart
You saved my life twenty years ago, gave me the most special of gifts, a brand new start
You were my angel then, and you are still now
I know one day we'll meet again, I know we'll find a way somehow

Tears fall down my cheeks as I write this, but I wanted all my friends to know
The wonderful woman I call Mom, the one who taught me how to make love grow
You are in my dreams at night, you are the whisper in the wind
You are the reason I am who I am, you became my most precious friend

I will miss you forever, never a day will go by that you won't be in my thoughts
You left a permanet mark deep inside me, that can be found deep inside my heart
So for now bye again Mom, I miss you more than any words can say
As I await until once again I can see you, one sweet day

"love is like a butterfly--
if you chase it,
it will surely fly away,instead
hold it close and watch it grow into
something beautiful"
~me~
