(Gone But Not Forgotten) 
 
Mom, you've always been there 
 
On you we could depend 
 
You're more than Just a Mother 
 
You've also been a friend 
 
Your Special Kind of Laughter 
 
Would brighten up the day 
 
To brush the tears away 
 
W e may not say it often 
 
But maybe we can show it 
 
W e Love You for the things you are 
 
And only hope you know it
