Mother

A Long time ago before I can remember

You held me in your arms

Stars sparkled in your eyes

As you looked down upon my reddened face

You gave me life then cancer

Took yours away

Now all I can do is wonder what you were like

I never knew you and you never will know me

So together we are lost without each other

I cry myself to sleep at night

Longing for just one embrace

For you to hold me in your arms

And tell me that you love me

I know you are looking down

From above and no matter where

I go or what I become

You will always be right there with me.
