Mom Please Listen To Me

Mom, please listen to me

As I take time to write

I see parents struggling daily

Their pain is such a fight.

All of us who have gone on

And left the rest of you behind

We're ok, Mom, I promise

Heaven is beautiful, and God is kind.

You used to tell me that one day

God Would call and take you home

You told me you'd make me strong

So I would stand tall when alone.

But things happen sometimes, Mom

That does not go in our plans

I wasn't scared, Mom

When God held out his hand.

I didn't want to leave you

I didn't have time to say good bye

When the angels said, "Come with us"

There wasn't time to question why.

I've watched you daily, Mom

It hurts to see you cry

I don't want you to be unhappy

Just because we didn't get to say good bye.

Tell the others what I'm telling you

So many parents need to know

That Earth was just a lay over

We had another place to go.

I know you miss me, Mom

I know your heart was broken in two

But God really needed me

Because my earthly life was through.

I'm always alongside you

I smile and touch your hair

I whisper "Mom, I love you"

You just can't see me there.

I'm the one who gently touches you

On your shoulder when you're sad

I'm happy now that you finally found

God again, and are no longer mad.

Tell the parents, Mom, for me

that all of us kids are okay

God had plans for our lives

When he called us home that day.

I love you, Mom, I always will

And remember I'm not far away

We're going to be together

When God calls out your name.
