I know my time is short,
The candle of my life soon to fade;
But I am thankful you are holding my hand
As I face my passing days.
I have lived a life full of love
A life filled with blessings high.
And yet still as the days get dimmer,
You are here by my side.
Creating memories, spreading peace,
Helping me navigate my final path;
As your mother I held you in your early days,
And now you are here to hold me at my last.
I won't lie I'm scared,
It's hard to face the final unknown;
But your quiet presence, your loving hands,
Let me know I'm not alone.
I will not forget you child,
Nor will the world ignore;
That when I needed the love of family,
Overflowing was the store.
So in the days to come,
When I will look down on you from on High;
Know that my heart was at peace,
Because we had the chance to say goodbye.
