Wishing I Could....

Hey, Mom
It’s not the same without you,
When I kissed your cheek that day,
I just stopped to tell you,
But, I really couldn’t stay.

You said that you kept busy,
And you missed me everyday,
I just stopped to tell you,
But, I really couldn’t stay.

I saw the tear slide down your cheek,
Don’t worry Mom, I’ll be back next week.
I just stopped to tell you,
But, I really couldn’t stay.

When I hugged you  that day
I wish that I had known,
That two days later,
You’d arrive in your heavenly home.

Now that I am older,
I know there’ll come the day,
I’ll be there beside you Mom,
And I’ll be there to stay.
