Mom

Candice Sapp 1982 (Morgantown West Virginia)



You never said I'm leaving
You never said goodbye
You were gone before we knew it
And only God knew why,

A million times we needed you
A million times we cried
If love alone could have saved you
You never would have died.

In life we loved you dearly
In death we love you still
In our hearts we hold a place
That only you can fill

It broke our hearts to lose you
But you didn't go alone
As part of us went with you
The day God took you home.
