That one day
Expect it
But it slips by for some reason
Then you look back
Oh how things could have changed
You see all the days
You could be celebrating
It breaks your heart
You miss it even more
You pull yourself together
Because few people remember
Few people know
That in heart and in spirit
You too are mother
You too have missed birthdays
You have had to be strong
Without them there
While they look down upon you
Your little angel survived
But not in your arms
And on that first Mother's Day
And on that first birthday
You wish you had them there
Cause now people think there's nothing to celebrate
Nothing for you
While you have this big whole
A whole that gets bigger and bigger
The black hole that crushes your celebration
An emptiness because your child isn't there
Lets stop forgetting
The women that have to be strong enough
To raise their future children
Maybe even grow children
After losing a child,
before ever really seeing them grow..
Happy Mother's Day to you, lonely mother
And happy birthday to your child
Every year, on that special day
