I Miss You Mama

I miss you mama What feels far between The house ain't the same Your absence keenly seen Your smile in photo frames Echoes of your voice A heart so full of love You were everybody's choice I miss you mama More than words can say The ache in my soul won't fade away I miss you mama wishing you were here A piece of me is gone A love so deep and clear Your nephews and nieces Miss your playful gentle ways Remembering how you made everyday feel okay Your sisters and brothers gone They leaned on each other tight Cause you were gone Trying to find the strength In this long dark night Your oldest grandson He still struggles We are all lost without your light Your wisdom and your stories Were our guiding stars so bright Raghib and Haki carry stars so bright And mama there's a granddaughter A pretty girl you haven't met She will always remember your name She reminds me so much your daughter Tara Stories of you live on Your spirit in her smile Your oldest Terry he carries the heaviest pain But mama don't you worry We'll lift him up again We surround him with comfort Just like you taught us how Your love lifts on through us And every promise every vow I miss you mama more than words can say The ache in my soul won't fade away I miss you mama wishing you were here A piece of me is all I'm so deep and clear I miss you now Say we'll always We love you We'll hold your memory close Precious and so bright You may be gone from sight But never from our light We'll carry your love forever in our hearts And though this pain still lingers, a new day always starts
