A son who’s longed for
A weeping mother wails
A soul who’s ever missed
Mother
Lie uncrying
Me who rests
Among all the best
My weeping mother wails
Son,
You were the world to me
I loved you most of all
I never stopped to think
That life could go
in a blink
I never thought that I
Would see you fail
Frail
Body
You were stronger than the rest
And yet
You rest
With all the best
I’ll never see that smile again
I’ll never hold your hand
I’ll never know why you went
And spent those years away
So quick
Over in a moment
My soul’s at rest
If you are
Shannon you were a mother’s smile
You were your mother’s tender love
I shall never forget you
Not for one moment of the day
Nor shall I ever cry
If I know that you are
now safe at home
At rest
God bless
