Dearest Mother

Dearest Mother
I've missed you here
And I am unable to say
How much it truly wounds me
To know deep within
That I'll never see you again
Because I'm bleeding, badly
Actually... no I know
I am dying and I know I can't be saved
By bullet and violence I've been killed
So far away from you
And so far away from home
Please don't cry
This isn't as a bad as it may seem
And I will see you again
Until you come to where I am
I will remain at Heaven's gate
With tears upon our reunion
Please don't worry
Know I'm in a better place
Better than the one I knew
And that I could've ever dreamed
For me this life is over
But I've been redeemed
For already I can see it
The next one I can taste
I'll not be alone
I'll see you there
My beloved mother
