But your son wants to say I am all right.
I think it's about time I write you a line
We are all good and feeling fine.
Hope you and Dad don't think I'm asinine
When I say it took me this long to resign.
Myself to the facts that you are no longer here.
Mom you don't know how much I miss you and Dad
But I know you are together and that makes me glad
But Mom; you were my Mother since I was a tiny lad
To give you up now is so very sad.
The one's who meant so much to me.
But there is no more home, no more welcome smiles
There is no more welcome domicile.
That all is gone I have to reconcile
To wish otherwise would be futile.
You gave me everything you had.
Riches are something you never knew
But you stood by your kids until they grew.
You made sure we were honest and true
If only one more time I could say; Mom I Love You.
Why don't you come down and spend the day?
But I don't think I could drive by your old home place
God how I miss seeing your smiling face.
Without you there it's just an empty space
Everthing disappeared without a trace.
I can sense your presence in the room.
I can feel you standing by the door
Hear your footsteps on the floor.
I feel your kisses by the score
Bestowed on the one I know you adore.
It's getting dark and I can't see to write anyhow.
But I want to thank you for raising me
And you will always be my fondest memory
So until God returns your son home to thee
Remember always in my heart you will be.
Your loving son. ~Elmer Ake~
