True story.

normal">Three Words

I was layin’ there sleepin’ ‘bout two in the mornin’

When the telephone rang

It was a nurse on the other end and she said

I think it’s just about time

Threw some clothes in a bag jumped in my car

And headed out on that drive

Turned a six hour trip in four and a half

I musta done about ninety five

When I got to her room my brother was waitin

Said it’s the end of the line

We gave each other a hug pulled up a couple of chairs

And sat by her side

We held her hand as she lay there sleepin’

A peaceful look on her face

We softly sang her favorite song

Amazing Grace

We started tellin’ stories about growin’ up

And the lessons we learned

We realized we had the same side

And we got it from her

We talked about how everything that she ever went through

She never complained

Always had a kind word always turned the other cheek

How she’ll be happy to see Daddy again

-------- -------

We didn’t know if she could hear us

So we got real close

Kissed her forehead brushed back her hair

Told her it’s OK to go

We said Momma hasn’t it been nice we could be with you

In these precious few days we were able

She opened her eyes smiled and said three words

It’s been wonderful

Dark clouds filled the October sky

That morning we laid her to rest

The sun reached ‘round under one of the edges

That’s your Momma’s silver lining preacher said

All the time all the love all the memories

Now she’s got that crown of jewels

So many things she gave she left us with three words

It’s been wonderful

Thank you momma for everything
