Mama Please Save Me A Place

I didn’t like what the doctor just said,

Mama this can’t this just can’t be true!

You hadn’t been yourself, we knew you was sick,

I guess we just hoped it was the flu.

You have worked so hard and been so strong and good

Yet you had so many trials in your life.

Bad things should just happen to others, not you,

You’ve been the very best Mother, daughter, sister and wife.

Mama, please help me understand,

How can this be part of His plan,

I need you near to me, Oh  Mama please,

I need you here with me.

You’ve always been kind and always put others first,

And when friends needed you, you felt blessed to assist.

No doubt where you’re headed when you leave this earth,

Everyone knows God had you on His waiting list.

Your Angel escort is here now,

I feel the presence in the room.

I guess I need to let you go but Mama

That seems to be more than I can consume.

You have been my Mother, my friend, and my strength

I can’t wait till once again I will see your sweet face,

God is taking you home now to dwell with him

But Mama, please save me a place.
