She brought into this world
Two daughters and a son
Before her life had ended
And ours had just begun
The longing in our hearts
The tears that we cried
Three devastated lives
On the day our mother died
Like little lost souls
Through life we would go
Our mother's loving touch
Never would we know
For fate had not a plan
In those lonely years ahead
Spent searching for the answers
To things she left unsaid
Destined for a purpose
Each of us has grown
Clinging to a memory
Of a mother we've never known
