It seems like it was yesterday
When I was just a child
You held me close to your heart
And rocked me for a while.

You stroked my cheek gently
And wipe away my tears
You wrapped your loving arms around me
To calm all my fears.

You were always there when I need you
Through good and bad
I could always depend on you, mama
To be there to hold my hand.

Mama, the time had come
And we had to say goodbye
You left us with your undying love
As your soul journey into the sky.

Now you were called by God
To be his heavenly angel above
He needed you in heaven
To help spread his love.
