Watching you take your deep breaths,
As this body of yours fades away.
I never thought I’d see you take your last breaths in this way.
But as I sit here with you, seeing your face filled with so much peace,
I’ll never regret a second that I spent with you like these.  
You are the mother I have loved and fought for till the end,
Most of all, you’re not just my mother but also my best friend.
God’s holding you right now, just lift your arms up high.
He’ll cradle you like a newborn baby in the glorious heaven on high.  
It’s there where you’ll see angels and all our loved ones who’ve passed, whom we’ve loved so dear.
But Momma, please, when you leave, go on without any fear.
You’re going to get your wings soon and be healed inside and out.
It will be a glorious homecoming; I’m almost certain they will shout.  
We love you and will miss you dearly every single day,
But Momma, please don’t worry, we’re going to be okay.
So as I’m watching you take your last breaths, ever soft and slow,
I know your pain is leaving this body, a vessel in store for its new home.  
I can’t promise there won’t be tears; Lord knows I’m going to cry.
But you know I get it honest from you, each tear that falls on by.
Relieved and oh so peaceful, Jesus will take you in His arms.
Don’t be scared, sweet Momma, you’re going to be taken care of; now go and rejoice in His loving arms.
