🎵 My Mom and May 13
(by Alexsander)

[Verse 1]
I still see you in the morning light,
Pouring coffee, humming soft and bright.
You were fire wrapped in gentle hands,
A quiet strength I’ll never understand.

You fought a war behind your smile,
Every breath, you made it worthwhile.
But cancer came and took its toll,
Still, you stayed beautiful and whole.

[Pre-Chorus]
And though the days have turned to years,
Your voice still cuts right through my tears.

[Chorus]
May 13 took you away from me,
But your love’s still in the air I breathe.
In every song, in every prayer,
I find pieces of you everywhere.
My mom, my heart, my light so true,
I live each day remembering you.

[Verse 2]
I wear your courage on my skin,
Your laugh still echoes deep within.
The way you held me when I’d fall,
Now I stand, I walk, I rise for us both.

[Bridge]
Some days I break, some nights I cry,
Still ask the heavens for one more goodbye.
But you show up in the smallest things—
A cardinal’s song, the phone that rings.

[Pre-Chorus]
And I still hear you call my name,
Telling me to stand through all this pain.

[Chorus]
May 13 took you away from me,
But your love’s still in the air I breathe.
In every song, in every prayer,
I find pieces of you everywhere.
My mom, my soul, my guiding star,
You’re still right here, no matter how far.

[Outro]
So I’ll light a candle, speak your name,
Every May 13, through joy and pain.
My mom, my love, forever mine,
Your heart beats still—inside of mine
