When The Leaf Fell From The Tree

When the leaf fell from the tree I cried myself to sleep I prayed to the Lord that it’d be gone But it has spread for far too long Her shift has ended My heart needs mended One last breath and She hit death Years later I lie awake With an ache That has taken all control My savior told me That soon I’d be With the woman that had raised me The time has come and I feel numb My shift has ended My heart is mended I took one last deep breath As I lay to meet my death I see her in the distance It seems so real A hug for a feel My mother was always in my heart Even when it fell apart I feel no pain anymore That I have found the one and only cure When the leaf had fallen So did my life It seemed as though My heart was stabbed with a knife The pain I had and now no more God had promised and was secure It was meant to be when she left me The mother and daughter bond is so strong I love my mother and I will forever long
