I watch from a distance
As distance is a friend
Watching and waiting
For time to somehow bend

Watching as time
Steals her away
There is no more time
For keeping her at bay

She is the one
That mattered most
Brought me into this world
Raised me as she knew best

But time has it's way
It will steal her from me
Take her away
And she will no longer be

A mother
A wife
A grandmother
Full of life

Her memory is fading
No longer standing tall
I try not to show
The sadness I feel for it all
