Hey Mama, it’s me, how are you? I hope you’re doing well. I speak now from afar to Share tales about your girl. I’m sure you’d never argue I lack for tales to tell, Now I summon my inner bard to Sing my heartfelt, late farewell. I’m sure that you remember My every dream, unbridled. That ambitious spirit’s ember That burns strongest in a child. Mama, I am proud to say, That passion ceased to waver, And till my very dying day, I'll be that spirited dream chaser. And your brother is beside me, An uncle tried and true. And never stands by idly Through each dream that I pursue. Dear Mama, I’ve tasted failure, But please, don’t be concerned. For your guidance has been my saviour, The framework for a lesson learned. And Mama, oh the successes I wish you’d been round to see, Each joyful tear I’ve shed expresses How much I hope you’re proud of me. And Daddy’s been a soldier, An eternal debt, to him, I owe. For his unrelenting shoulder Where I rest my head in woe. Oh Mama, how I wish you Could see your baby girl, And know how much I’ve missed you With my heartfelt, late farewell.

My Late Farewell
Hey Mama, it’s me, how are you? I hope you’re doing well. I speak now from afar to Share tales about your girl. I’m sure you’d never argue I lack for tales to tell, Now I summon my inner bard to Sing my heartfelt, late farewell. I’m sure that you remember My every dream, unbridled. That ambitious spirit’s ember That burns strongest in a child. Mama, I am proud to say, That passion ceased to waver, And till my very dying day, I'll be that spirited dream chaser. And your brother is beside me, An uncle tried and true. And never stands by idly Through each dream that I pursue. Dear Mama, I’ve tasted failure, But please, don’t be concerned. For your guidance has been my saviour, The framework for a lesson learned. And Mama, oh the successes I wish you’d been round to see, Each joyful tear I’ve shed expresses How much I hope you’re proud of me. And Daddy’s been a soldier, An eternal debt, to him, I owe. For his unrelenting shoulder Where I rest my head in woe. Oh Mama, how I wish you Could see your baby girl, And know how much I’ve missed you With my heartfelt, late farewell.
A message to a mother who passed before she was able to see her only daughter grow up..
