She Is Never Far Away
*I wonder what she would say
If she were sitting here today
Would she tell us that her pain was gone
That God had taken it away
Would she tell us stories of the past
Or of what our future holds
Give a glimpse of what's in store
And say she met the Lord
Would she know how much we miss her
Miss the love that she once gave
Tell us that although she's gone
She's now in a better place
Would she sit and talk for hours
Give advice on what to do
Crochet an afghan blanket
Then say this one's for you
Would she say she sees her father
Her mother stands there by her side
She feels the sorrow that we have
But must walk into the light
Would she say she knows our love for her
Hears the prayers each night we say
That she will always be our mom
And she is never far away*
In Memory for my mother
