How Do You Say Goodbye to Mom?
How do you say goodbye to your Mom for she was everything to you?
Many books have been written about it but even their words can’t get through.
The pain is so piercingly intense that it goes through every bit of my heart.
It’s a throbbing pain that prevents the flow of blood to every single part.
As I stand by beside her watching her struggling for her life.
Seeing her beloved husband’s tears flowing freely for his loving wife.
My heart is in my throat and blocking all the tears to my eyes,
Choking every breath of life from me, watching, as my mother dies.
Hear my cry my Lord, hear my cry, please take this pain from me.
Give me strength to get through this, let me cling tightly to thee.
For I alone can’t let Mom go, she brought life to my very soul.
Mom’s the one I leaned on, as my young spirit began to grow.
She was everything to me, and she led me to you on high.
She’s your loving child sick and in pain, I just can’t stand by.
Please God don’t let Mom suffer, I pray in your only son’s name.
Life with her not in it will be unbearable and never be the same.
But as Mom’s fighting hard to live, I know she’s doing it for me.
For she knows how much I need her and I just can’t set her free.
But you’ve shown me my selfishness by watching her in pain.
So I’m asking you now my Lord, take Mom home with you again.
You’ve also made it clear to me that I will see her again once more.
And we'll have a joyous reunion, when Mom & I meet on heaven’s shore.
No, don't say goodbye to her, just say, "I'll see you once again."
For this is what God said to me, to help my shattered heart mend.
