They told me you were dying,
But I didn’t want to let go.
They said you were slipping away,
But my heart wouldn’t listen.
You would always be there,
To hold my hand and comfort, never one to let me down.
You were my mother, my friend, my sister, my world
And no matter what they said,
You couldn’t be taken away from me.
No matter if our bodies part,
Our souls will not.
You told me you would always be there,
And I know you will.
You’re in the air, the earth, my very being
And nothing will separate us.
You may have had your ways,
Boisterous and crass at times,
But you were the rock in all of our storms.
As steady as the mountain,
As strong as a thousand men,
You were our structure.
You were the kindest woman to know,
No matter if you liked us or not.
You spoke your mind, kept us in line,
And were never one to back down.
Our leader and fighter,
Though you have fallen on this earth,
You have risen again and now stand at the feet of our heavenly Father.
Looking down upon us,
You will become our watcher, the one to protect us yet again.
You are a beautiful being, a wonderful person.
Though it is hard to let you go from this nonpermanent land,
I know, we all know, that we will see you once again,
Whole and healthy in the glowing light of Heaven
And walk beside you yet again on those golden roads.
