MY MOM - ALWAYS THERE

Mom, you were always there for everyone
No matter what the need.
You gave of yourself so willingly;
You loved to do good deeds.

For fifty years,
You were a loving wife. The very best mother,
In a somewhat tough life.

You bore five children, and saw it all through.
You lived to raise all of us
As you prayed you would do.

Fourteen grandchildren gave you such pride;
You adored every one
And thrilled at each stride.

You taught us all what's important in life,
You had such a loving heart.
I'll always remember your beautiful smile,
No matter how long we're apart.

How dearly we love you, How heavy our hearts.
Mom, we miss you so badly;
It's so hard to part.

I rejoice in the knowing that you hurt no more.
God has answered my prayers
To end your suffering, evermore.

The time has come to say goodbye;
I can't believe it's here.
But Mom, I hold you in my heart,
And I'll keep the memories near.

So until we meet in God's kingdom above,
I'll find comfort somehow,
Remembering your sweet mother's love.
