For my mother
May I feel her arms
around me once more.
Yes, There is a better place,
With flowers that wont make you sneeze.
With bugs that wont make you itch,
All is good there in this place.
Yes, There is a better place,
With the greenest grass,
With the coolest water,
With the bluest of skies,
Not a dark cloud to be seen.
All is good there in this place.
Yes, there is a better place,
They wait for us,
On its sanding shores,
They great us,
With open hearts.
For we are missed.
YES, there is a better place,
No war,
No abuse,
No killing,
All is good there in this place.
YES, THERE IS A BETTER PLACE.
So chin up,
No sad face,
For they are in this better place.
