I only have a picture now,
A frozen piece of time.
To remind me of how it was
When you were here, and mine.
I see your smiling eyes,
Each morning when I wake.
I talk to you, and place a kiss
Upon your lovely face.
How much I miss you being here,
Each and every day.
The ache is deep inside my heart,
And never goes away.
I hear it mentioned often,
That time will heal the pain.
But to be honest,
I hope it will remain.
I need to feel you constantly,
To get me through the day.
I loved you so very much,
Why did you go away?
The angels came and took you,
That really wasn't fair.
They took my one and only Son,
My future life. My heir.
If only they had asked me
If I would take your place,
I would have done so willingly,
Leaving you this world to grace.
You should have had so many years
To watch your life unfold,
And along the way,
Watch me, your Mom grow old!
I hope your watching from above
At the daily tasks I do,
And let there be no doubt at all
How much I really Love you.
