She is not gone -
The mother in my heart, she is not gone, even though we are apart
with every thought I hear her wisdom, in my head I hear her voice,
Even now she guides my choices, she’s always close and I rejoice - She is not gone.
She gave me values, kept me right and when darkness fell she gave me light. Her principles they guide me still and hold me straight against my will - She is not gone.
She weaved her soul deep into mine, we cleave together like a vine.
My heart is full of love and laughter put there by her forever after.
Each day I strive for laughter and light, wisdom and love honesty and right. This keeps her close, that’s why I know - She is gone.

She is not gone -
The mother in my heart, she is not gone,
even though we seem apart;
with every thought I hear her wisdom,
in my head I hear her voice.
Even now she guides my choices,
she’s always close and I rejoice
She is not gone.
She gives me values, keeps me right
and when darkness falls she gives me light.
Her principles they guide me still
holds me firm, strengthens my will
She is not gone.
She weaves her soul deep into mine,
we cleave together like the vine.
My heart is full of love and laughter
Gifted by her, forever after.
Each day I strive for joy and light,
wisdom and love honesty and right.
These keep her eternally close,
which is how I know
She is not gone.
