Put the photo away now mum,
You know he is not coming back.
His life is gone away from us,
It's to us, your love we lack.

It hurts me to see mum so sad,
She sits for hours in his space.
She doesn't really understand,
Why she can no longer see his face.

My mum is a survivor,
I can see it in her face.
But she can not quite understand,
Why her husband, is no longer
In her space.
