A Mother's Lost Love

I know of a grieving mother today
And it’s the saddest thing when a child passes away
See she is a loving mother, and one of my dearest friends
My heart sheds a tear, for what she’s lost

Darling little child that your mother lost
There is no compensation to cover this cost
As we all know when a child dies
Because an parent grieves with tearful eyes

Twilight dwindles in the skies
Do the heavens hear her cries?
I know this day is rather dim
But I lit a candle to honour him

Joshua your loving mother loved you so
And I know she loves you forever as she goes
One tiny footstep passing in time
And you are treasured in her mind

I know that her heart is breaking
Even if it isn’t shaking
I have felt this tragic cost
Less we forget the child that she has lost
