For Deborah Fenton Martinez (1/10/1951-12/16/2006)

Before you I was empty
Past was a fog, my future unclear
But you covered me in understanding
I found security in your unwavering love

A perfect union transcended
Once two of us became three
Bound by your everything; kept warm by your light
In your embrace we could weather any storm

And when your sun went down
I knew it'd come around...again

I will always be your baby
And you will always be my blanket
You will always be our long-stemmed beauty
You will always be our blanket

More than a Mother, you're my best friend
God knows I'll never be ready to let you go
They say that it is where the heart is
So with open arms I tell you, "welcome home"

Cause when your sun went down
I knew it come around
Can't wait to see your smile...again
