They called it a coffin.
Some referred it as a casket..
I called it your new home..
With a sad voice I sang the songs
It was a sad day,,a day where my tears came out like water running from the tap.
I saw your coffin descending..
as I was was standing in the group of people singing...
I cried out to you but you were quite..I tried several times but you were still quite.
Mom I can't believe how fast it entered into the hole...
I guess I should just say will meet one day in your new home.
I picked up my phone yesterday just to view your pics...
unfortunately all can't be rewind to the last day we spoke.
My mind.....
Ran back to the fire to just suck up the smoke...
Mom missed way we spoke.
