Moms Do Die
My friend buried his mother today
Which led me to these words to say
It hurt me to see him cry
A sad reminder that moms do die
A part of life we all must endure
As we grow old there’s one thing for sure
That loved ones will come and go
And the list in Heaven will continue to grow
Although it hurts to say good-bye
It doesn’t mean forever and I’ll tell you why
Because moms have an unconditional love
And are waiting for us in Heaven above
Other friends have lost mothers too
If you’re lucky and this doesn’t include you
Take the time to say to your mother
I love you, Mom, like no other
My friend buried his mother today
Which led me to these words to say
It hurt me to see him cry
A sad reminder that moms do die
