Mother I Love You
 
My mother went to heaven before I was ten
She wasn't there for me to hug again
Through the years I missed her very much
It is was very hard not to feel her touch

My Mother loved me so very much
I felt so unloved, scarred and untouched
For a long time when anything went wrong
I wanted to die and didn't have a song

Mom gave me love and acceptance
Nothing was the same, a lot of distance
Dad couldn't take care of us six girls
So they split us up that was a lot of curls

I lost not only Mother but my Father as well
Sisters went to different homes for a spell
Two by two's they were gone like a shot
To older siblings homes and not in one spot

My older siblings loved me, this I am sure
They opened their homes, made me secure
Not very old, they had children as well
They took me in and there I would dwell

Not staying long it was hard to understand
God had His hand on me He had it all planned
He had prepared my soul mate in advance
A home never to roam, not left to chance

It is hard when we lose someone we love
But God sent me His love like a dove
My Mother prayed for me of this I am sure
When I get to heaven she'll take me on tour


Dedicated to my Mother
