Don`t Mourn Me

My child, my child, my dearest babe

I'll soon be leaving you.

I won't be there as you grow up.

Our moments are so few.



The precious gift of life I gave.

Your gift to me was love.

I shall always watch over you

Even though from above



I shall be in each drop of rain

That nourishes the earth.

I shall be in the warming sun

That gives each new day birth.



I shall be in each budding flower

Whose scent will fill the air.

Don't mourn me, my darling child

For I'll be everywhere.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

In memory of my precious mother who died so very young.
