Although you are gone, I’m not alone,

And never shall I be,

For the precious memories of the bond we shared

Will never depart from me.

Our love surpassed the ups and downs

And helped us along the way,

And that same love will give me strength

To manage this loss each day.

On my mind and in my heart,

Mom, you shall forever be,

For just as much as I am a part of you,

You are a part of me.
