I know you're up in Heaven
right near your favorite star
yet each day I do wonder
if I'll ever get that far.
Now I try to be a Christian
but there are times I'm slack
yes and it sometimes takes a while
before I get it back.
I miss you more than e're before
each and every passing day
you used to be by my side
and now you are far away.
Since I was the youngest
I learned a trick or two
It was clearly best for me to ask
for things you let the others do.
There is a special day for mothers
and I place you at the top
you were there for me when needed
so you can trust my love won't stop.
