My mum living her life so happily
Cancer happening silently
A disease developing while no-one knew
The cancer within just grew and grew

Before we knew the cancer took hold
I was with her when bad news was told
How do feel when faced with this
I held my mum tight and gave her a kiss

The seconds that passed were the death of me
Truth be told I wished it was me
How do I even begin to cope
Now that my life has lost all hope

I knew when I saw the doctor's face
That my mum would leave the human race
We sat in a room, did nothing but cry
Searching for answers and asking why

How do I cope now my mum is not here
Her love and support are not so near
I long to hold her close to me
Only then my sadness will be finally free
