As I held her hand and said goodbye
I tried my best not to cry
The tears came rolling down my face
As I quietly asked to see God’s Grace
Fear filled her eyes as she began to see
God and Family were surrounding thee
Both hands together, we held them tight
Each breath she took, took all her might
God placed his hands between our palms
And I could feel the room begin to calm
She slowly started to slip away
With every breath I began to say
Mom, go be at peace as you are loved
by all those here and those above
Go be at peace and take God’s hand
Let him bring you forth and reveal his plan
Mom, hug my Dad and hold him tight
Let the fear you feel take its flight
And when you and Dad see us cry
Send us butterflies and we’ll know why!
