Missing Mama Today

Lord, I miss seeing mama today.
   But, she's in heaven and I know that she’ s okay.
But Father, if You would, can I ask You this.
   Upon her forehead please place this kiss.
She was here for me so many years
   She would pick me up, and dry those tears.
Lord, You know that I still love her so, 
  And that goes without saying, but this You know.
Lord, I was the burden that she packed.
  I was that monkey upon her back. 
She saw something in me, that I just couldn't see.
   She prayed to You, she prayed for me.
She wanted me to step out of the night.
   She prayed to God I'd see the light.
Then it happened not long ago, I accepted Christ forever more.
   And it set her free, I opened the door.
But she couldn't leave until she knew.
   That I'd been born again , made anew.
So Lord, if You would, please hold her tight .
   And whisper in her ear she did it right.
Cause I sure miss mama today
