The christmas after I lost my mother |
Dear Lord, you know I lost Mom this year And all I have now for her is a tear She was the best Mom, this man, could ever have Why? When I was little she could cure anything with a bottle of Vicks salve And when I had a nightmare she was always there to hold me Being the first christmas without her, you know what I want to see If I could just see Mom placing a present underneath my tree It's the only thing want just for me When I got older and my heart was broke She'd be there to hold me, to give my heart a gentle stroke I love Mom and just don't know how long I can hang on Because, with my Momma, I was always strong And when I had a dream in life that I could just feel Momma taught me with you, anything could be real It just hurts Lord, knowing I'll get up to look at that tree Knowing Moms gone, and she won't be there for me She was always there, and this year I need her real bad MY heart has been filled to the limit though, Mom never told me that Christmas would be sad So Lord this is my Christmas prayer and now it must end Tell Mom I love her, then I said "Amen" I no sooner fell asleep when I went to bed Then I heard the Lord speak and this is what he said "Tim, I gave you the greatest gift that could ever be sent from above Mine and your Mothers love "Yes at Christmas time you'll have a gift, a little early, you'll know It never did depart I placed the most precious thing, your Mothers love, where she placed it in your heart |
