I called you today
To tell you
about my life

Your son answered the phone
I was going to tell you
about school

He was my best friend
I was going to ask you
If I would see you soon

Before he turned to drugs
I half feel it's my fault
it's been too long

I didn't want to talk to him
It make me feel sick
To know how he treats you

I wanted to talk to you
Tell you
How you changed me

How I admire you
How you were the best mom ever
How I wanted to be like you
How I hoped I would see you soon
How I want to be more involved in your life again
Like when I was little

I wanted to thank you
For making me who I am today
For saving me from the rough kids
For taking me places
for feeding me
for being there
even though I wasn't yours

You were my second mom
You were my idol
You were only 48
You died in October

I had no idea.
