My Mother Is Gone
Written by Raymond Lee Peltier

My mother has gone into a world of light,
And alone I'm sitting here;
The memory of her is so very bright,
But my thoughts are not so clear.

She had a face that always glowed,
Like the stars in Heaven above;
She had a heart that always showed,
Her kindness and her love.

I remember the times when she would search,
So many hours a day;
And then she said she found a church,
Where we could go and pray.

Yes, my mother has gone into a world of light,
My thoughts are now so clear;
And though I know I won't see her tonight,
I wish that she were here.
