Our Time



"We had our moments,
Both good and bad.
There were joyous times,
And some were sad,

But, it was our time.

Through Halloween parades,
And afterschool sales,
We laughed our heads off,
And we raised hell.

But, it was our time.

Oh, and the phone conversations,
That you and Sylvia had,
Boy, y'all talked about us terribly,
And y'all knew we were not that bad.

So, we laughed, and that was our time.

Through my kids and my accident,
My stress and my strife,
As I was yours,
You were my life,

And it was our time.

You said you were ready,
To go on home,
I guess you meant it,
Cause now, you're gone,

But we didn't believe it was your time.

Love you Mom"

Aww, thank you. I hope so. Like I've said, we had our differences, but I hope she knew how much I loved her and wanted her approval.
