Did you hear me?

You were tired

You were tired, I saw it in your face.

The end was coming at a fast pace.

But, how I wanted you to stay...

In time, I came to understand,

your will was not my command.

Life just became too hard for you.

I didn't want to see.....but I knew..

You had to be where you could fly.

Mom, It's so hard to say good-bye.

You were mine for all those years,

I'll miss you and cry my tears.

But I also know, that's okay..

for we'll be together again some day.
