as I lie
slumbering
in my own
special place
I felt your
hand
upon my
face
gentleness
known so well
always there
come to quell
all my fears
all my pain
wipe the tears
then explain
everything
that I need
to understand
to be freed
then I wake
only to find
you are gone
just in my mind
how I miss
your warm touch
how I miss
you so much
I only pray
you did know
what you meant
I loved you so
oh how grateful
I'll always be
you were Mother
and I was me
