Always with you:
Your mother is always with you.
She's the whisper of the leaves
as you walk down the street.
She's the smell of bleach
in your freshly laundered socks.
She's the cool hand on your brow
When your not well.
Your mother lives inside your laughter.
She's crystallised in every teardrop.
She's the place you came from
your first home.
She's the map you follow
with every step you take.
She's your first love
and your first heartbreak.....
and nothing on earth can separate you.

Never Forgotten
I think of things you used to say
And all that you would do,
At some point, every single day,
My thoughts will turn to you.
To lose you was a bitter wrench,
The pain cut to my core
I cried until my tears ran out
And then I cried some more.
This wouldn't be your wish for me
That I'd be forever sad
So I try to remind myself
Of the happy times we had.
I know I can't be with you now
And you can't be with me
But safe inside my heart you'll stay
That's where you'll always be

'When I go,don't learn to live without me, just learn to live with my love in a different way.
And if you need to see me, close your eyes or look to your shadow when the sun shines,
I'm there.
Sit with me in the quiet and you will know, that I did not leave.
There is no leaving behind when a soul is blended with another.
When I go, don't learn to live without me, just learn to look for me in the moments,
I will be there.'
