i thought God had abandoned me long ago
since the day i drifted
since the day i decided to not go to church
since the day i stopped praying.
he has been good enough
to give me a very supportive mum
who stood and still stands by me
in peril times.
at my most down in the middle of the night
she slept on the floor by my bed
to assure me of her love
and took leave the next
to make sure i'm alright when i wake

' if god doesn't love you, He wouldn't wake me up
in the middle of the night to go see to joy'

it is time like this
we make each other feel important
