If I could have an hour to spend
With you
Sit on a park bench, tell you
How much you helped me
When I felt, nobody was there too
It's be six years since
You passed
Times are hard for me, right now
Wish, I could bring you back

Even though, you were not blood
Family
Thank you for being the mother
I never had
To listen, to care or show important things
Everyone needs that feeling of
being wanted
Smiles were free with you
No charging a tab...

If you see my Popi in Heaven
Tell him "Hello"
He knows you were special to me
You laughed with a sunny glow
Mrs. Ray, my heart aches
Could not tell anyone why...
If you can deliver an answer
Maybe, my eyes will stop dropping
tears
Pieces of this puzzle will stay
together
Without a broken Why
"You are missed"
