Dear Mama

Dear Mama
  
The day you left my heart broke in two    
  On many days you were the one that carried  me through    
   
For so long I felt oh so alone    
  On that day the God called you     home  
   
We were so close you were my best friend    
  How I wish those days never had to end  
   
Oh sure there were ups and downs between you and me  
  But these past 6 years have felt like an eternity  
   
Many times I've just wanted to pick up the phone and call you    
  Whenever my life was a mess you always new just what to do  
   
On those night I just lay there thinking of what you would say    
  How you would take me in your arms and tell me it's all going to be ok    
   
I'll always remember how you taught mehow to love and not to hate    
  Remember what I said to you on that last day you've got strong girls here we'll be okay and I'll meet you at the pearly gate
