Mothers Last Prayer

Mother's Last Prayer

What will we do without her,
Are there really words to say.
Just how much we'll miss her,
Now that she's gone away.

What will we do without her,
There can never be another.
A tender face, a loving smile,
The one that we called mother.

Now the Lord has called her,
To us it might seem wrong.
She did her good deeds here on earth,
And now she's been called home.

The things she wanted most in life,
It seemed she was denied.
We'll never know how many nights,
She laid awake and cried.

To see her children close once more,
And loving one another.
Was the prayer she said each night,
And it was the last prayer of our mother.
