For My Mother
I cannot bear to thinkof when you will be gone. I do not understandhow I will get along. Your love has been my resting place,the place that I would go,no matter what,no matter whereyour love would always flow. A simple calla quick hello,Where have you been? What do you know? Just to touch baseand share a laugha smile or two,a joke or gaffe. What will I do when you are gone? Who will I call? There is no other quite like youno other love that's half as true. no one could do the things you've done,no other one could be my sun, shining brightly as I get your call,"I'm home now dear,what's going on?"
