MAMA,
 
I HEAR THE WORDS YOU SAY TO ME AND WANT YOU TO ALWAYS KNOW,
THAT I AM THERE BESIDE YOU AND I NEVER WILL LET GO.
GOD SENT TO YOU A MESSENGER, A STRANGER IN YOUR EYES,
BUT THE WORDS SHE WRITES TO COMFORT YOU ARE SENT FROM BEYOND THE SKIES.
I CAN'T BE THERE TO TELL YOU HOW MUCH YOU MEAN TO ME, 
SO THIS WOMAN DOES IT FOR ME, AND SHE CAN FEEL MY HEART YOU SEE.
I WAS SO BLESSED TO HAVE YOU DEAR,FOR NO MOTHER COULD BE MORE GRAND.
YOU RAISED IN LOVE A LITTLE BOY AND THEN RETURNED TO GOD THE MAN. 
I WANT TO THANK YOU, MAMA, FOR ALL THE LOVING THINGS YOU'VE DONE,
NO MATTER WHERE I RESIDE, I'LL ALWAYS BE YOUR SON. 
NOTHING CAN SEPARATE OUR LOVE...NOT TIME, DISTANCE, OR EVEN DEATH, YOU SEE...
FOR I LEFT WITH YOU MY MEMORIES AND IN YOUR HEART I'LL ALWAYS BE.
SO, WHEN YOU START TO THINK OF ME AND THE TEARS BEGIN TO FALL, 
REMEMBER THEY'RE HAPPY TEARS, MAMA, FOR I'M WITH YOU AFTER ALL! 
I LOVE YOU!
