~Mama Knew~
by: O' Puppy

A child will never understand
The love inside a mothers hand
Until the day when it's too late
And she has left for heavens gates

I know because I'm sitting here
Without the one that I loved dear
The years that I let slip away
Are years I wished I had today

When I was young it bothered me
To have all that security
I never was allowed to roam
Far from my simple childhood home

At times I thought I knew it all
But she was there to catch my fall
And as her life came to an end
I knew that she was my best friend

Inside my heart there is a place
Where mom and I can still embrace
I never showed her .. love this true
But somehow I think .. Mama knew
