I climb the stairs to heaven
And find the trip is long
But knowing who will be there
Makes my legs tireless and strong
After a while upon arrival
Closed and lonley the gate I find
When asking the gatekeeper the reason
He says I need some peace of mind
The baggage within me I carry
Profound and craving is it's state
No matter how hard I try
The path I walk is not straight
After long contemplating
I realize that I was wrong
I was not helping anyone
With the pain I carried all along
Having left me by the way side
Was not her fault at all
It was her time I know
To go to the mighty ball
It saddens me yet I know
That her love she took with her
As I sit upon a boulder
A thought causes a sir
Her love she did not take
She left it all behind
Her carting arm don’t hold me
But her heart is still so kind
Heaven
I sit upon a bolder
And ponder my sorrowful fate
Left to go on without a mother
I learned not to love but hate
Forgive me mom I beg you
Alas life is so unkind
So long have I disrespected you
With darkness I was blind
She did not want my sadness
The mother that was she
Joy of living she desired
For this son a life so free
Forgive me mom I beg you
The road that I would endure
And when I see you dear mother
May your arms this pain secure
I go again to the gate
Of pearly jewels so pure
And ask forgiveness for faulting
Be allowed her love to endure
Dear mother, without you my emptiness sees no limits.
Happy mother’s day
