I, too, was a daughter.
I know, baby girl,
That losing your mother
Has torn up your soul.
But hold it together.
Wipe that salty tear.
Your mama can see it,
Your sobs she can hear.
You ought to be happy
For your mother's sake.
Her peace up in Heaven
is greatly at stake
If she does not witness
A smile on her kid.
Let her on her journey.
Her farewell bid.
