Letter to Mommy My broken, bleeding heart screams 'Mommy, please come back' I'm going to my reward, my dear, no more of his and that But Mama, there's more for you to do; please stay a little while more I've done my duty here on earth and now this time is yours. I'm afraid and need your guiding hand to help see me through Worry not, my love, because I'm always there with you. Grieve for me a little while but not for very long I've done my work in this earthly place and now I'm going home.
