On the first day I was delivered from her
She smiled and watched me take my first breath
But I cried when she was taken from me
Torn apart and a broken soul as she was laid to rest
I could never give back half of what you gave to me
Your work is done, but your love will always remain
Thank you for having me, as I will carry a piece of your legacy
Though sometimes I feel like a candle's flame in the pouring rain
Heaven lies all around you for you have graduated
Though I sit and wonder why you were taken so soon and weep
Life will always get what she wants when its time
But I know your love will be with me when it's my turn to sleep
