the woman in my life

ma,
that day i saw your face
up close
and i saw the wrinkles
fine lines on your eyes
and i realised
how long i've never
looked at your face

i realised
how much you
have given up
for me, for this family
how we have become your priority
your heart and soul
that you would put yourself second
to our needs

ma,
more than anything
it breaks my heart
to know
that our eternity
is not guaranteed
that i may not get to spend
ever after
with you
if you don't believe
in the only One
who gives this grace
this gift

ma!
so many times i wish
i knew how to tell you
i really love you
i want to hug you
close to me, my heart
and share Jesus with you

i wish you would believe
i wish we would enter heaven
i wish i knew
and not be afraid
of tomorrow
when i know where eternity is
for us

all your pain
all you have done
i just wish
ma...
i just wish
that you would know Jesus
then all will be fine
no matter what come may
all will be fine
we have eternity

ma,
i want to share eternity with you.
