A MOTHER'S LOVE
Lyrics/Composition by: Charlene Rizzico
Created: 4/2/2026


(Verse 1)
She stands in the doorway of his empty room
His scent, frozen in time
His shoes by the bed
His jacket draped
Like a memory on the chair
She touches the sleeve, and it pulls her back
The last soft trace of a life once near
Whispers his name to calm her fears

(Pre-Chorus)
Photographs don't fade
They stare back in time
A mother's heart breaks
But love doesn't die…

(Chorus)
Her only son, her shining star
Now watches from a world too far
She lifts her prayers into the night
Refusing to let go of his fading light
The empty chair, the silent room—
A mother's love will never be removed

(Verse 2)
She remembers the dreams he held so close
The songs he sang, the paths he'd run
The way his smile outshone the morning sun

(Pre-Chorus)
She clings to hope, though the night feels long
Her heart still beats to his unfinished song

(Chorus)
Her only son, her shining star
Now watches from a world too far
She lifts her prayers into the nigh
Refusing to let go of his fading light
The empty chair, the silent room—
A mother's love will never be removed

(Bridge)
If heaven has windows, she hopes he can see
The light of her love shining endlessly
Though heartache remains, her spirit won't bend—
The bond they still share will never end

(Final Chorus)
Her only son, her shining star
Forever close, no matter how far
She lifts her prayers into the night
Refusing to let go of his fading light
The empty chair, the silent room—
A mother's love will never be removed
