A MOTHER'S LETTER
I'm a mother blessed like no other
You chose me from all others
As I held you in my arms
I promised you protection from all harm
I did my best as I promised I would
Did all the things that a parent should
Little was I prepared that fateful day
When death came calling and took you away
Nothing in all my power could I do
Nothing to stop death from taking you
As parents we never think of losing our child
Taking for granted they're here for all while
I recall my pain as you entered this world
Now I bear the pain as you left our world
A mother's bond to her child is great
Let there be no mistake
I'm proud to have been your mother
So glad you chose me instead of another
My love to you and forever it will be
Until the day we're together we'll be
