My mother’s gone and I felt sad
but when I thought of foods she’s cooked
lasagna, in particular
I started feeling like I should
Loved ones may be gone but
think about your excellent memories
and they live!
The way Mom dressed, how good she looked
I concentrate on positives
and all she said and all she taught
can solve a great big part of this
Loved ones may be gone but
think about your excellent memories
and they live!
If they’ve lived long and happy lives
think about that
Dwell on the positives
not on the negatives
The quality time and family trips
the special places that you like
the holidays and precious gifts
remember them and you’ll be fine
Loved ones may be gone but
think about your excellent memories
and they live!
My coffee, that’s been sitting in the cup
it still is a little warm
Loved ones may be gone but
think about your excellent memories
and they live!
Lucy Ventura, this author’s late mother, always wanted to be with the best.
