The Stranger

Mom came home with a stranger today
Not even a man but in her left breast he lay
She bursts out in tears and says it won't be long
But she's a strong woman, she still carries on

There might be a chance the doctor keeps saying
There is just simply no time for delaying
With a 90 percent chance, Chemotherapy seems to be the only hope
I see the pain in her face, I just can't cope

There isn't a worse feeling I could compare this to
Watching her go through this and there is nothing I can do
She smiles at me and tells me everything will be okay
I can tell by the tears in her eyes she just don't want to say

I remember playing with her beautiful long brown curly hair
Since the cancer took over, there isn't much there
How much more can this take from me??
Her face is sinking in and I just want her to be free

The doctor called and confirmed the worse
Its spreading faster than a tainted curse
With no facial expression she seemed to already know
Then continues to tell me its just her time to go

I had a phone call and went to see what was going on
I guess it was her time, she couldn't carry on
I lost it, i couldn't keep control
I blamed myself and everyone else, this has taken quite a toll

Time is the only thing that will fix something like this
I just wish I would have been able to say I love you with one last kiss
As I sit here and stare at the clouds up in the sky
I hear a faint whisper that says "Don't worry baby, it was my time to fly"
