Long Time Gone

Do my songs make the distance and reach her ears?
Does she wish she were here to catch all my tears?

Does she miss me somewhere, wherever she is?
Did she know that I'd be alone like this?

Is she still a mum when shes never been here?
Its been so long she just doesn't seem real.

I try to remember the short time we had.
Its better than nothing, I should really be glad.

At 6 years old the world's scary enough,
But Dealing with cancer really is tough.

Would I still be me if she were here today,
Or somebody different, would I have found my way?

Is she really watching over me, perched upon her cloud?
If she could see me now
Would she be proud?

I like the substance of this poem very much, but I must point out a few errors in punctuation I found that would have made the poem perfect if corrected:   The first five lines are each questions, so there should be ? marks at each's end.  The contraction in line six should be "It's..." for it has.  Line seven is a complete sentence, and so should end with a period.  The same contraction in line eight should also read "It's," and there should be a comma between "nothing" and "I."   In line nine, "worlds" should be written as "world's."  Line eleven is a question and should have a ? at the end.  In line twelve, "Would" should not be capitalized.  Line thirteen is an interrogative sentence, and should have a ? at the end.
