To My Mom's In Heaven
One of you gave birth to me almost 40 years ago,
One of you helped me through life as you watched me grow,
The only two women I know that my dad ever really, truly loved. 
Happy Mother's Day to you both watching from in Heaven above.

One of you I never got to really be that much around
One of you was there for me each time I felt down
I get a little sentimental around this time each year
For all I do on this day, is wish that you both were still here.

A daughter's love for her mom is one that never ends
So for you both today especially, all my love to Heaven I send
Hope you both have a good Mother's day above the clouds
Hope all the love I send today comes to you clear and loud.

One of you held me in your arms after to me you gave birth
One of you stuck by my side and taught me my true worth
You've both been passed a while now, but it doesn't stop the hurt
Just know that still today you're still the most loved women on the Earth.
