To Mom, With Love

Daddy’s waiting for you

On the other side of life

He’s waited years to be together

Reunited with his wife.

We’ve had you these extra years

But your time has come to leave

Each of us will miss you

And each of us will grieve.

We couldn’t bear to see you suffer

And we needed you to know

Although we want you here with us

We’re prepared to let you go.

Mom, please keep the kettle boiling

Place some cookies on a tray

One day we’ll join with you and Dad

We’ll all be home to stay!
