Forty-Four Years Ago

Mom gave birth to me in 1971 and today I became forty-four.
It's a shame that she can't celebrate my birthdays anymore.

Forty-four years ago today, my mom brought me into the world, it was the first day of my life.
But my life became difficult because she is no longer a part of it, it has been a painful strife.

Two and a half years ago was when Jehovah decided to take her.

Her death has been painful but it's nice to know that she's in paradise with her maker.
