Mama's Crying

Mama's crying
And I can't stop the pain
Can't whisper softly
Everything's gonna be ok
Words of wisdom and my kisses
Won't take these tears away
Mama's crying...Mama's crying
And I can't stop the pain

They say time heals the broken heart
A little more each day
And seasons hold the memories
We'll smile upon someday
But her pain right now is deeper
Than her faith in God and Church
And as I hold my baby in my arms
We both grieve for hers

Summer's ending
Autumn stumbles into place
Anger and frustration
Toss and turn our every day
Mama's crying...Mama's crying
It's gonna be a long cold winter
Spring's a long long ways away

They say time heals the broken heart
A little more each day
And with every new tomorrow
Sorrow slowly fades...
The heartache that she's feeling
No one else can take away
But I'll be right beside her
Each baby step she takes

Mama's crying
And I can't stop the pain
I can tell her that I love her
Help her through each grueling day
But I can't make it better
Like I could in younger days
Mama's crying...Mama's crying
Cause I can't stop the pain

Mama's crying...Mama's crying
But I can't stop the pain
For only time can dry her eyes
And help us smile again...

He Never Knew

A flicker of sunlight
One moment in time
From May to September
One blink of an eye
Lullabies silent
Questions of why
Searching for answers
I know I won't find

But I'll find some comfort
Knowing Aaron knew love
And I'm glad there are things
He never knew of...

He never knew hunger
He never knew pain
He never knew violence
Some children face
He never knew bigotry
Color of skin
He never knew hatred or sin
And I find some comfort in this

He never knew anger
Never knew war
He never knew poverty
Outside his door
He never knew loneliness
Some must endure
He never knew these things exist
And I find some comfort in this

A flicker of sunlight
In a Grandmother's eyes
Tears are still falling
And will for some time
For there are some things
I wish that he knew
Taken for granted
By both me and you

But I'll find some comfort
In this heart that he touched...
For there's one thing I'm sure of
I know he knew LOVE...

Aaron's Birthday
Today is Aaron's Birthday
Birthday number one
I'm gonna bake a chocolate cake
A very special one
I'll use a lot of icing
and write his name in blue
and directly underneath his name
will sit Winnie the Pooh

We'll gather 'round the table
and sing his birthday song
I know I'll shed a tear or two
before his song is through
There won't be a single candle
on this very special night
For the stars will be his candles
as he joins us here tonight

Today's is Aaron's Birthday
Birthday number one
He made my life so special
though his had just begun
Some people live a lifetime
never knowing love
But Aaron touched so many
in only four short months

Yes, today is Aaron's Birthday
It would've been his first
But in my heart he'll always live
For he was Grandmom's first


Happy Birthday Aaron!
Love, Grandmom
