The Day that My World Stopped
The day that my world stopped Was like any other It wasn’t a special day Only to a mother
The day that my world stopped Was a normal day I did the same things I always do No I never had a clue I just never knew
That halfway around the world My heart had been broken Taken away
Without a word spoken Didn’t know at all that day That you’d been taken away And now you were gone Into the dawn
Yes the day that my world stopped Was like any other
Nothing different from any other day Except that you were gone away
I wanted to be with you
And hold you in my arms And speak with you once more And let you really know How wonderful you are My beautiful, wonderful star
The last day I spoke with you You had sounded so happy You said you re-enlisted Inside I felt so blue
Even though I tried To sound happy for you
You felt as happy as could be My darling girl, my Keisha Marie You, my 1st baby girl,
Yes you were truly my pearl…
And then six short days later A knock came at my door To let me know you’d gone
I felt as if I’d fall through the floor
The day that my world stopped My heart inside just dropped Till that moment it was like any other But Keisha I am your Mother I cry for you every day
I can’t believe that you were taken away
For this ache in my heart I can’t fix You were not yet 26
And now your home is in heaven Since you’ve been gone I feel unwoven
Yes the day that my world stopped Had been like any other
Except that now I miss you, My Darling Keisha, For I am your Mother.
Love Mommy……….
My Darling Girl, you have been gone since Feb 22nd, and I have missed you everyday…..I always love you, my baby xoxoxoxo
