A Visit From Mom
I drove into the cemetery
With tears in my eyes today
I placed a flower upon your grave
And bowed my head to pray
Looking at the simple marker
Nothing fancy, or overdone
I couldn't help but cry as I read
The birth and death of my youngest son
I told you how much I missed you
Your face I could clearly see
You have died, but are not lost
You will always be a part of me
There's emptiness in our home now
An empty house, an empty chair
Our family is broken forever
A son's love is no longer there
So I'll say goodbye for a little while
Sleep in peace and always know
I didn't want to give you back to God
He took your hand, and I had to let go
