Mom,
They say there is a reason,
They say that time will heal.
But neither time nor reason
Will change the way we feel.
For no one knows the heartache
That lies behind our smiles.
No one knows how many times
We've broken down and cried.
We want to tell you something
So there will not be any doubt.
You are so wonderful to think of,
But so hard to be without.
Missing and loving you
for 20 long years,
Your friends and family
