If tears could build a stairwell
And memories were a lane,
We would walk right up to Heaven
And bring you home again.
We sat beside your bedside
Our hearts were crushed and sore,
We did our best to the end,
‘Til we could do no more.
In tears we watched you sinking,
We watched you fade away,
And though our hearts were breaking,
We knew you could not stay.
You left behind some aching hearts,
That loved you most sincere,
We never shall and never will
Forget you Mother dear.
