I'm Only Human

Mom

Here I am, yet here you're not

The entire world has been distraught

From the loss of a mother, woman, child

Everything honestly just seemed so wild

The night you left was just so bad

It made the entire Earth sad

It cried and wept, screamed and mourned

And then sent out a massive storm

The storm raged on for a few years

And in those years we all shed tears

Because nothing could compare to the love of a mother

We were left alone with only our love for each other

But one day, the storm went away

And the sun shone on a brand new day

No more sadness, no more pain

There had been beauty brought from the rain

Things have changed, but that's alright

I'm sure you'd like them, day or night

Sometimes I wonder, pray, and hope

That you don't think I'm just some dope

Who's in this world just to cause pain

That I'm saying things for my own gain

But deep down, I know I'm telling truth

Even if it may cause others to go aloof

So I know that when you look down

On your face there will never be a frown

For you will only smile and say,

"Look at my beautiful children today!" 

So no longer will I be sad or cry

At the fact I had to say goodbye

For I know you're watching from above

And you're sending everyone your love

(Fun fact: I made this for my deceased mother on her birthday, which was three days ago. Hope she likes it. RIP, Maranda)
