Mother’s watch
On death’s doorstep you lay
I set my head upon your wrist
as I bow my head to pray
[Chorus:]
The world to me shut off
The silence here is thick
Alone just you and I
And your watch’s rhythmic tick
I block out all my pain
And loss I’m sure to feel
I concentrate now deeply
On the tick your watch reveals
I sit here now for days
And hear the rhythmic sound
I contemplate you being gone
The thought now seems profound
[Chorus:]
The time for you is near
To enter Heaven’s Gate
I’ll stay here by your side
Until your journey is complete
[Chorus:]
It’s months now since you’ve passed
My wounds are healing slow
I want so much to hear your voice
To see your smile’s glow
I lay my head upon my wrist
When my feelings are too strong
I hear your watch’s rhythmic tick
And know you’re never gone
