Mother forgive me that my absence has been longer
look down at me from heavenly blue sky and know that I will be stronger
I feel your touch on my shoulder through the breeze of wind so cold
now see me turn warm and bright as you taught me to be, as you so once told
I squint my eyes and a smile turned wry, I look in the heavens, oh heavenly blue sky.
Forgive me that you have not yet seen your son and what he grew out to be
I wish I could witness your smile and the pride of a mother for me to see
Well, mother make no mistake
I see you every moment in mirror, on the road, the moment I wake.
With you beside me pulling me away from danger
Trying to turn me to reason, from paths darker and stranger
Mother forgive me for I miss you like the child I once was and will be
It has been hard and sometimes I see no light, like you would in me
Grown taller and having wished you could see a son turn into man
For you may have died but I love you more than I ever can.
For sons and daughters who lost their mother
