Mom's Departure

Benita Gail Carty

Where are you mommy?
I need to know!
 
 
Oh daughter dear, I had to go
The Lord has something for me to do
It's the only way I'd ever leave you
 
 
Will I see you again oh mother dear?
 
 
Just close your eyes and I'll appear
I'm in your memories, your dreams, your kiss
but daughter dear remember this
 
I'll no longer endure any harm
I'm now safely enwrapped in God's loving arms
