I don't want to grow old,
without you next to me.
Your my closest friend,
that there can ever be.
You are my compass,
and you've shown me the way.
I've been lost for so long,
for so many a day.

You taught me how to love,
and you taught me how to care.
With you by my side,
there's always someone there.
But I know the day will come,
when you can no longer speak.
I will cry my heart out,
and I will be very weak.

You are not only my friend,
but my Mother as well.
Without you in my life,
my life will be hell.
I know I must go on,
as hard as life is.
But no matter what happens,
it's you I will miss.

I hope you will realize,
how much I love you.
You've always been there,
and you've always stayed true.
I don't want to grow old,
without you next to me.
Your my closest friend,
that there can ever be.
