Dear Momma

Dear Momma,
Why did you have to leave?
Why didn't you stay here?
Why couldn't you be here with me?
Dear Momma,
I lost my best friend tonight
How am I supposed to shed a tear
When I never got to say goodbye?

Momma, each day gets harder
Without your comforting words
I never knew that losing someone
Could cause me this much hurt
Your baby girls are growing up
And I know you're not hurting up there
But I'd give anything to have one moment with you here

Dear Momma,
The new year has just begun
I know I've made my fair share of mistakes
But I don't mean to hurt anyone
Dear Momma,
This house is too quiet without you
I miss your voice, I miss your laugh,
And I miss the little things you used to do

Momma, each day gets harder
Without your comforting words
I never knew that losing someone
Could cause me this much hurt
Your baby girls are growing up
And I know you're not hurting up there
But I'd give anything to have one moment with you here

All the things we used to say
All the words I didn't mean
All the times I tried to run away from everything
I can never take it back,
No matter how bad I want to
I can never apologize for everything to you

Dear Momma,
I wanna thank you for everything
You've raised me up on your shoulders
Every time I start struggling
Dear Momma,
I'll tell Daddy that you said hi
I'll tell him you're still lending your shoulder
Every time he needs to cry

Momma, each day gets harder
Without your comforting words
I never knew that losing someone
Could cause me this much hurt
Your baby girls are growing up
And I know you're not hurting up there
But I'd give anything to have one moment with you here
