My Mom
Ask my Mom how she is
My mom, she tells a lot of lies-
She never did before.
From now until she dies,
She'll tell a whole lot more.
Ask my Mom how she is,
and because she cannot explain-
She will tell a little lie-
Because she Can't describe the pain.
Ask my Mom how she is,
She'll say "I'm Alright."
If that's the truth, then tell me-
Why does she cry each night?
Ask my Mom how she is,
She seems to cope so well-
She didn't have a choice you see-
Nor the strength to yell.
Ask my Mom how she is,
"I'm fine, I'm well, I'm coping."
For God's sake Mom, just tell the truth-
Just say your heart is broken.
She'll love me all her life,
I loved her all of mine.
But if you ask her how she is
She'll lie- and say she's fine.
I am here in Heaven.
I cannot hug from here.
If she lies to you don't listen-
Please hug her and hold her near.
On the day we meet again,
We'll smile and I'll be bold.
I'll say; "You're lucky to get in here, MOM-
With all the lies you told!"

That's beautiful Amy.

Oh well- great poem!
