I never would have imagined the end would be like this, me comforting you, Holding your hand, telling you not to worry was not an easy thing for me to do, And even in your weakest hour you tried to comfort me too Caressing my face and calming my soul as only a mother can soothe You have always been there through thick and thin No matter what we’ve done Unconditionally your love never wavering When we told you of mistakes we’d made and the times people saw us fall You simply nodded and gently replied ‘So have we all’ I would give anything to have you back But I know now, that it’s not meant to be, For you are still watching, but now from up there And I know you are watching over me We will make you proud Mum At least to all do our very best You are going to see us and smile Whilst you take your well-earned rest We wish we all had, some time to say How we loved you so But some of us never got the chance Because it was your time to go Mum how we will all miss you We hope you know about our love Because it’s strength will always remain true As you look down upon us, from above We will all think of you in our times of need When our lives may be getting tough And when we’re feeling down, we all know, That the memory of your spirit will cheer us up When we try so hard to move on But still begin to breakdown and cry We will think of the happier place you’ve moved onto And once again we will try So to us all, when we are missing Our Mum, Our Friend, Our Wife All we have to do is try To think about the happy times we all had with her And that it was just her time to say Goodbye….
