Mom & Me

We met a long time ago

Before I even started to show

Maybe your sister needed a brother

Again I was going to be a Mother

Time started to pass

And everyone started to ask

If I was pregnant once more

I said Yes! With a little girl I will cherish and adore

Then we met and my feelings were mixed

You were born December 10th of 1976

You were shy and quiet and never wanted to be left alone

I wondered how you would be once you left home

***********************

I started to grow and find my own way

I remember when I left Pennsylvania, I cried that day

I missed you so much I wanted to go back

But choices and opportunities Wilkes-Barre lacked

You came to Live with us in 2001

2 years after you had your very last son

I cherished the time that we spent together

But you wanted to go back to the Islands with promises of life being better

Time past and you came to visit for your Birthday

That's when I realized I really wanted you to stay

If I would of known that time would be the last

Before Ariel called me and told me that you passed

Maybe things would of been different, But I have to let it be

I'll just wait till I get to heaven, Once again it will be Mom & Me.
