For Mama

I wish I'd hugged you

A little longer that night

Showed you how much

I loved you

With a smile cheerful

and bright

But I was hiding a secret

That you never knew

I knew you were leaving

Yet I couldn't bid you adieu

Silently I watched

your suffering and pain

Knew that the doctor's efforts

Were all in vain

I wish I could give for you

Every drop of blood I had

'Twas so frustrating

It almost drove me mad

Oh how I wish now

That I could turn back time

Just to tell you I loved you

O mother of mine
