My dear child
My mama used to say
We are humans
One body, one mind
Just like the others
But like an ugly duckling
We differ from the swans
We are not like the others
We are different...you and I
My dear child
My mama used to say
You and I, we think alike
You and I, we are like sisters
Never brought apart
My dear child oh my dear angel
When I am away, do not fear
When I take a trip to a place where only memories lay
I shall await you there
And watch over you till your time has come
My dear darling oh my baby
Even when my ashes are at shore
Or when my soul wonders
You will always be my baby
And I love you with all my heart
Was what my mama said
Was what my mama said
Before she released her last gentle breath
