Mom
I thought of you today
And couldn't stop the tears
I thought of you today
And couldn't erase the fears
I thought of you today
So sad you went away
I thought of you today
So glad you didn't stay
I thought of you today
And wiped those tears away
I thought of you today
And all the hope you tore away
I thought of you today
And how you messed with my head
I thought of you today
And relieved that you are dead
I thought of you today
And emptiness filled my heart
I thought of you today
Yet thankful we are apart
I thought of you today
Grieving for my loss
I thought of you today
Many tears you gave to me
I thought of you today
Many years you stole away
I thought of you today
And all those days and nights of fear
I thought of you today
And grateful no longer you are near
I thought of you today
Not grieving for your death
But for the time we shared
I thought of you today
