Mommy, Please don't go

Momma please don't leave,
You know I'm going to miss you,
I don't know what I'll do,
If we ever split into two,
You are always there for me,
You always care,
I don't want you to go,
Mommy it just isn't fair.

You say you have to leave soon,
And go so far away,
You say you're going to miss me,
You tell me to carry on enjoying my days,
I can't live without you Mommy,
I need you by my side,
Tell me where you're going,
Just don't tell me you're going to die.

You say you're going to heaven,
And you tell me to be tough,
But Mommy I'm only seven,
This pain is getting too much,
You can't leave me now,
I want you to stay with me,
You'll make it somehow,
My heart is breaking in two-can't you see?

You seem to be sleeping in your bedroom,
I come upstairs and I can smell your lovely perfume,
What will I do when I no longer can watch you sleep?
I sit next to you silently as I hear you weep,
You look at me with your tear filled eyes,
You say "darlin, I'm sorry but today I'm going to die",
I look at your face,
My eyes are filled with tears,
This is the one thing that I really feared.

I tell you not to go,
I tell you "Stay here-please",
You're making me cry,
You're making my heart freeze.

Oh Mommy please tell me why?
Why do you have to go?
Was I a naughty girl?
Is that what it's for?
You take my hand and tell me "NO",
You're very ill that's why you have to go,
You tell me I'm the best,
The kinda daughter any Mom would wish for,
My heart is sinking deeper and deeper,
It soon will reach the floor.

You take my hands and say goodbye,
You tell me to be strong and tell me not to cry,
But it's hurting me to let you go,
I love you Momma, please don't let this pain grow.

You're eyes are now slowly closing,
Your hands are letting go,
My heart is now frozen,
My knees get wobbly and I fall to the floor.

I scream out loud "MOMMY DON'T GO",
I'll miss you too much,
But your heart becomes slow,
And your eyes just shut

I feel a pain I've never felt before,
A pain that hurts each day more and more,
But one day again I will hold you tight,
When I'm also in heaven,
In that wonderful light.
