MOURNING IN THE MORNING by Tom Jensen
Mother may she sleep in peace
May her spirit and soul be at ease
When you get a call in the middle of the night
The hospital called but she’s not alright
Fly, fly away raven
Go on home your work is done
Fly, fly away raven
Fly on back home to your safe haven
Mourning in the morning
Mourning at noon
Mourning in the evening
Over a life taken away
Much too soon
A wedding and a funeral
Only three weeks apart
The end of one life
Just as another one starts
