im a lover not a fighter but i'll fight for what i love.


God needed another angel
So he thought that he’d take you.
He knew you would be the perfect one
To do what he needs you to do.

Just a few weeks ago
We sat in your room and we’d talk,
About how much you missed you husband,
And how badly you wished you could walk.

I knew you were slipping away
But I want us to be together.
And I always use to tell myself
“My mamaw will live forever.”

You always hollered out “OUCH!”
It’s because you were in pain,
And I didn’t know what I had to lose,
Until I had nothing left to gain.

I know you’re happy in heaven
I can feel it deep in my heart
But mamaw never forget
I have loved you from the start.

As you were leaving this earth
To go home with the lord
The Gates of Heaven opened up,
And said “My child welcome aboard.”

My feelings for you are so strong
That they can never hide
But I know you’re happy
I can feel it deep inside.

i wrote this right after my mamaw passed away April 15, and all my hurt feelings just poured out and the only place i could put them was on paper.
