As I walk through the valley and the shadow of death.
I remember looking in your eyes as you drew your last breath.
Death came to you quickly so you didn't suffer.
Never thought I'd see the day when I'd loose my mother.
You said things will get better.
You said things will be alright.
I shed tears knowing you're no longer by my side.
Yesterday, I contimplated suicide.
As I held that 9, my pride wouldn't let me pull the trigger.
Who would of figured you're the only thing holding me back from insanity?
But, right now I have to be strong for my family.
I have to keep moving foward, inspite of my past.
At times I smile knowing you've found peace at last.
No more weekend visits to the county jail.
I'm sorry for putting you through hell, hugging on you from a cell.
Just look at your baby boy now mom, I made it.
I just want you to know I love you even though I'd hardly ever say it.
Mom, I just want to tell you you're the greatest.
You where always so slow to judge, and quick to forgive.
I just want to thank you for all the things you did.
You knew just want to do to put a smile on my face.
There's no woman alive that could ever take your place.
You and dad made me the the man that I am today.
If you where alive I know just what you would say.
"Whatever don't kill you makes you stronger."
I knew you where in pain and couldn't hold on much longer.
And there's no way I can pay you back, but my plan is to show you that I understand.
You are appreciated.
