LAST Mother's Day

She sat us down one quiet afternoon,

With heavy eyes that told us all too soon.

The weight of spring already filled the air,

A silent truth we felt but weren’t prepared.

We stared at her, our hearts all broke in two,

Determined then to make each moment new.

With simple love in everything we’d do,

We gave that day the best of us we knew.

(Chorus)

We held your hand and tried to hide our tears,

You smiled at us and calmed our deepest fears.

We gave you all the love we had to say,

And lived a lifetime in that single day.

They snuck around with glitter, tape, and glue,

Spelled “We love you” in hearts of red and blue.

They burned the toast but brought it anyway,

She swore she’d never had a better tray.

We snapped a photo out beneath the sky,

She stood between us with a gentle sigh.

She pulled us in like she could pause the day,

A silent memory that won’t fade away.

(Chorus)

We held your hand and tried to hide our tears,

You smiled at us and calmed our deepest fears.

We gave you all the love we had to say,

And lived a lifetime in that single day.

Now every May when flowers line her stone,

We play that day back like a little home.

We’d fall apart if we had never known,

But we got one last Mother’s Day full‑grown.

(Bridge)

And every word you said still echoes on,

In every little thing we’re holding on.

You taught us how to love, how to be brave,

Our hearts are with you beyond the grave.

(Chorus)

We held your hand and tried to hide our tears,

You smiled at us and calmed our deepest fears.

We gave you all the love we had to say,

And lived a lifetime in that single day.

We didn’t know how strong our hearts could be,

Until you showed us how to let you leave.

Now every spring your memory finds its way,

Back to our last, sweet Mother’s Day.

Now every spring your memory finds its way,

Back to our last, sweet Mother’s Day.
