Mother's day shopping caused me to wobble In the shop I walked out As I trembled No more buying two cards Our mum has gone Seeing her family Beyond the clouds I was surprised But maybe I shouldn't be It was only December When angels came calling Her failing health Made her unable To keep going in this life In pain but kept stable She died free of pain The drugs they enabled Comfort in life As last breaths escaped her Sleep well our wee mammy I hope you are around us Give our regards To those who went before My head fills with fleeting Moments of sorrow You loved us unquestioned Put food on your table Sleep well now the mother Awake on a new day You won't remember us Now in a different place Alive again Sing with the angels. AGL.
