A Mother's Song

A Mother's Song

I'm not supposed to mourn you-but I do!

I'm not supposed to think of all the times I've missed you!

I'm not supposed to mourn you-but I do!

No one would understand

if they ever knew.

Everyday that passes by...

I think of you so clearly.

When I see a child of God...

I want to have you near me!

I'm not supposed to mourn you-but I do!

I'm not supposed to think of all the times I've missed you!

I'm not supposed to mourn you-but I do!

No one would ever understand

if they ever knew.

In the passing days that came...

they said, "it would be easy,"

If I'd known the truth; the pain

I'd never make you leave me!

I'm not supposed to mourn you-but I do!

I'm not supposed to think of all the times I've missed you!

I'm not supposed to mourn you-but I do!

No one would ever understand

if they ever knew.

Oh, my child now that you're gone...

I know I was so greedy

Since the day the 'Choice' was made-

I've lost myself completely!

I'm not supposed to mourn you-but I do!

I'm not supposed to think of all the times

I've missed with you!

I'm not supposed to mourn you-but I do!

For you...they said, I "wouldn't mourn",

but, now I know it wasn't true!

Oh, my child...

What I would give-to spend one day with you!
