Where did you go, mama?

Where did you go, mama?

After that deathly rasp;
Followed by your final gasp;

Your empty eyes;
Were still as blue;
As the bluest skies;

So what did you see, mama?

Were you with others;
Or were you alone;
Was daddy there waiting;
To guide you safely home

All I kept hearing was;
Be strong Shannon, be strong;
Just hang in there for Jessie;
She doesnt have very long;
And when she passes;
Here suffering will be gone

But mine won't.

This is only the beginning;
And just as the saying goes;
Death only effects the living

Oh how true..how true;
Im haunted day and night;
By those last images I have of you;
And who knew?
That the chances to make my peace;
Would be so few

Well, I've made my bed;
There is nothing left to do;
I just hope you knew;
How much I really loved you.
