Geraldine

Geraldine, you had a heart so wide

With unconditional love you never tried to hide

You were the one who would catch every fall

Whenever I needed you, I’d only have to call

You were the anchor that held me down

The safest shelter I ever found

Oh, Mama, I miss you so much

I’m longing to feel your comforting touch

Your unconditional love is the light I keep

In every waking moment and while I sleep

I love you more than my heart can pen

And I just can't wait to see you again

I smile when I think of the days looking back

When you would lovingly call me your "brat"

Through all of my phases, you stood by my side

My constant protector, my friend, and my guide

You were the one who would always be there

Wrapping my life in your gentle care

Oh, Mama, I miss you so much

I’m longing to feel your comforting touch

Your unconditional love is the light I keep

In every waking moment and while I sleep

I love you more than my heart can pen

And I just can't wait to see you again

Then the time came for the roles to reverse

I held your hand as the days became a blur

I stayed by your bed as the shadows grew long

Trying my hardest to be brave and strong

I took care of you as you closed your eyes

And transitioned to heaven, beyond the skies

Now the world feels a little too quiet and still

But the space in my chest is a space you still fill

The good-hearted woman who made me who I am

I'm holding your memory as long as I can

Oh, Mama, I miss you so much

I’m longing to feel your comforting touch

Your unconditional love is the light I keep

In every waking moment and while I sleep

I love you more than my heart can pen

And I just can't wait to see you again

Yeah, I just can't wait to see you again
