I missed  my mother today
she does not live with me any more
I blamed myself I don't know why
I only know her going made me cry

I often used to think of where mother was now
why she does not cuddle and read to me at night
father says she is in heaven, a star shining bright
I hope she hears me say everything is alright.

I talked with mother today
I hope she heard my plea through salty tears
that I missed her and now I know where she has gone
walking in golden fields with angels where she belongs.
