I never had the chance to say goodbye
For some reason that option was stripped from me
Still I am not sure what I would have said
Would the words have made me free?

I am angry and sad
It is all mixed into one
Twisted with the words on my tounge
I guess meeting you would have let it all undone

All the years I fought back the tears
There were the times I swore I never wanted to see you
Could God have perhaps known best afterall?
Sometimes I haven't a clue

All I know is I never got to say goodbye
I never realized I wanted to
Until one day you were gone
That was it, now what do I do?

You were my Mother
Mother...a word that is so hard for me to say
For with it comes a flood of emotion
Yet...each and every single day inside I pray

I pray for you both
My two angels high in the sky
I pray that you are kind to one another
No longer do I want to cry

I can't help it though...why did you both have to go?
I never got to say goodbye, now it's too late
Though this was the way it was meant to be
Sometimes I really hate fate

If you were here now
I realize I have a lot to say
I love you is certainly at the top
So in a weird sense I will cherish this day

Though I never got to see you
At least not while you were breathing and alive
I now at least get to say that I care bout you
Which helps me not feel so dead inside

"When life gives you sorrow, may you experience the spirit of laughter"

Very beautiful, so familiar to many of us
who have lost those we love.  And the timing
is never right...

Sometimes I say I wish I could see them once more. A beautiful write.
