My Mom Died Today (Written eight years ago, on this day) My mom died today, and on the day she died I had this vision of Jesus & the angels by her side I cried, I laughed, and in my pride’s dismay I could not accept for the life of me that my mom died today So I went to her house, I looked around Then discovered my mom could not be found But I felt her spirit in every room I sensed her essence, and in my gloom I gotta tell you how I tried today To deny the fact that my mom died today ‘Cause she lives somehow in my mind - In all existence - combined She lives right now in my heart And even though we’re worlds apart - and I’m torn apart, broken apart, A part of me can never depart - from the part gone un-restored The part that connects the umbilical chord To the part that connects the maternity ward To the eternity stored in my soul But on the whole I’m satisfied today - and although my mom died today D efinitely she’s at heaven’s gate E xactly where her mother stood “L et me in” she’s saying “O pen the gate!” They do. She’s in. It’s good. R ight now I can hear her E xpressing herself like she does, you know, “S t. Peter” she asks, can I put on the Annual Fashion Show?” H eaven won’t be the same now A ngels they can proclaim now Y es this is the one whose name now N eeds no asterisk or hyphenation E lla D. you got your soul’s salvation S till I cannot hide today - My mom died today And I’m sad for my brother and my dad My kids, uncles, aunts & cousins too - ‘cause if you knew the mom I knew You knew how funny she could be - and rightly You knew how sunny she shined, oh so brightly Without much money and not quite nightly She dined, divined & she outlined - a chance to dance with seniors primed She’d chit & chat with dress & hat - that matched the chair in which she sat And nails so long they seemed attached And you asked “my God what if she scratched A nail – nailed to a cross?” Jesus, Lord I suffered a loss And on my own dead sea I’m tossed And I would have lied today If I stood up & said that “I’m okay” But I’ll do that anyway I’ll take it all in stride today With these arms open wide today I’ll take the love that you provide today ‘cause my mother died today
