I recently lost my mom. This one's for her.
          
          Once upon a time 
          She was someone I knew;
          The one who was loyal
          When others fell through.
          
          She knew me well
          And I knew her too.
          When I had questions 
          She knew what to do.
          
          If I was in pain
          She'd make her way home.
          And when trouble found me
          I'd never be alone.
          
          But everything's broken
          Nothing's what I've known
          She is just a memory
          And now I'm on my own.
          
          I could look forever
          But she's the one I can't find.
          She's no longer my person
          But a place inside my mind.
          
          I used to run to her smiling.
          And she'd greet me in kind;
          Even when I got older 
          And tried to leave her behind.
          
          She's trapped in the past 
          Her body is gone.
          There's no future coming,
          No bright happy dawn.
          
          Her soul's up and left.
          Not sure how I'll go on.
          All I have are my memories
          Of our yesterday song.
          
          Some days I feel hopeless
          Some days I can breathe
          There's no sense or road map
          When you're left to grieve.
          
          I pray she's safe in heaven
          I have to believe
          And I still have my memories
          Good and bad to retrieve.
          
          So though she's left my sight 
          In the here and now;
          I'll see her again
          This is my vow.
          
          A promise I'll never break.
