What could I possibly say to you?
What should I say?
What could I possibly do -
To take the pain away?

How could I hope to help you -
When I don't know how to help myself?
What can I do to help you through -
When I put my own life on the shelf?

How can I paint you a picture
that will stay in your mind?
One that will keep you in scripture
when the world grows unkind.

How do I make an impact -
That  will ripple through the years?
How do I keep your heart intact
How do I stop the tears - Your fears?

I want you to know I love you
I will forever more
Near or far - even in heaven above you
no matter what life has in store.

Know I always wanted you close
I want to hold your hand
But I wanted your happiness most
I pray one day you understand

How do I say goodbye
without saying those words
because even if I try
I can't accept what they affirm

Because this isn't goodbye forever
Its see you later
One day we will be together
in the presence of our creator

I will always be your mother
I will always call you mine
I will love you each like no other
I pray you see that in time

This breaks my heart to pieces
But I will stay strong
I pray your faith increases
and you find where you belong.
