Softly in the morning,
You heard a gentle call,
You took the hand God offered you,
And quietly left us all.
The day you left us mother
our hearts just broke in two
The smallest part is still with us,
And the biggest part with you
For the rest of our lives
we will miss you mother
Our secret tears still flow,
Oh, how we really loved you,
No one will ever know.
We miss your smile, your joking ways,
We miss the things you used to say,
And when the old times we do recall,
It’s then we miss you most of all.
Look around your garden Lord,
And when she turns and smiles,
Put your arms around her,
And hold her for a while
