My Mom, Best Friend

Fifty-three years

You held my hand

Built my world

Made me stand

Your voice

My anchor in the storm

We talked

We laughed

You lifted everyone so high

Now you're the whisper in the sky

You are my Mom

My rock

My best friend

The heart I leaned on 'til the end

This world feels colder

Less alive

Without your love

I survive

Every story

Every tear

We shared it all

No fear

You were the light

My steady guide

Now shadows fall where you once stood

I'd wouldn’t bring you back

I wish I could talk to you again

You are my Mom

My rock

My best friend

The heart I leaned on 'til the end

This world feels colder

Less alive

Without your love

I survive

Fight off sadness

Struggle to breathe

Miss you so much

Hate the death

Saying goodbye

Broken speech

Mom thank you

Love we will keep

You are my Mom

My rock

My best friend

The heart I leaned on 'til the end

This world feels colder

Less alive

Without your love

I survive
