You carried me;
When I could do no more.
You gave me a smile,
With the love that you poured.

Mother of mine.

You held my hand,
Through thick and thin.
And took me to places,
I've never been.

Mother of mine.

Even with,
The world on your shoulders.
You'll always be there,
As I get older.

Mother of mine.

Even after you pass,
You'll watch over me.
You've taught me well.
And now I can be,

A mother like mine.

When I'm gone just hold on
Because time will pass and I will be back
A ***** it will be , be bold now
Let not the tears be sign of lack
You have much more my precious swan
Be kind and courageous , not a sulking sack

When I'm gone just hold on
Because time will pass and I will be back
I want you to remember the rhymes and my song  
Sing them and be calm in the dark

Because  it will fade by the cold dawn
As my love for you is more than all that stack
When I'm gone just hold on
Because time will pass and I will be back
I can't see my mom go
so I read this to myself
I've had plenty of experiences with hands
Hands that wave
Hands that hit
Hands that help
To give hints
Hands that are kind
Hands that are mean
All the different ways we use our hands
Hands to welcome
Hands to ban
Another gift from God given to man

I've learned over the past seven years
That destiny is just a pill
Shaped to go down easy
Flavored to taste sweet at first
Yet poisoned to **** you slowly

There's no escaping the aftermath
When you pray for safer waters
When you reach for outstretched hands
Yet no one's there
Except a ghost without a grip

I can't erase what's been created
Only toss dirt on an already-filthy heart
Stained forever by her apathy
And destroyed by no great tragedy
Just slow, and bitter, bleeding
Caused by her fading scent
