MAMA
The love you had for mer
Every day, I could seer
You left me a blueprint to liver
I use it daily to surviver
Oh how, I wish we could chatr
I have so much to sharer
Oh how, I miss your carer
There’s no one who comparer
This year you’re gone 4 yearsr
I cannot hold back the tearsr
Songs of Zion remind me of your
Your love for God and cooking toor
It would not payr
To lose my wayr
On my knees
Steadfast I stayr
You’d be PROUD of mer
Being all I can ber
Many say I look like your
This is definitely truer
I dream of seeing you againr
Which is why, I refuse to sin
