In loving memory of our mom and grandma, Shirley Hilliard, who passed away one year ago today, May 27, 2009.

If I could have a lifetime wish, a dream that would come true

I'd pray to God with all my heart for yesterday and you

If I'd have known it would be the last time

I'd see you I would never have left that day

I would have stayed and held you close and told you

How much I loved you and always will

A thousand words can't bring you back

And neither will a million tears, I know I've cried them

No farewell words were spoken, no time to say goodbye

You were gone before I knew it, only God knows why

You left behind my broken heart, but you didn't go alone

For part of me went with you, the day God called you home.
