MOTHER IN HEAVEN

Time drifts forward as your hourglass had just emptied,

You left here in quite a hurry, not much of a word had you.

You’re voice you kept quiet, tell me the pain you were going through,

Secretly it was you who suffered in sorrow, there was for you no tomorrow.

Only but a moment to say goodbye, you left us all without a cry,

Did you give up, was the torment from another much too much?

Was grief a nightmare, were you tired and needed to get away,

You let not a loved one know, Mother in Heaven, I’m angry today.
