Mom A wonderful woman she was So loving and warm Taking care of her family Keeping them safe from a storm Washing clothes and making beds Making sure there are no bugs in my head She wiped all the tears From my childish fears She taught me about life Then taught me how to be a wife She enjoyed my children with great delight She was a strong woman She was my shining light As time went on the light grew dim Then her time comes to be with Him Oh so strong until her last breath As strong as she was she could not fight death Now she is gone and I am alone No mom left to telephone Now I am the one who needs to be strong That’s what she was teaching me all along Now I am a mom Keeping my family away from harm Teaching my children about life and love While mom watches lovingly from above Maureen I know I know the bug thing doesn't need to be ther but that's life. |

This is so sweet! Yes, I'm a mom and had to deal with a few bugs too. I tell my kids when I'm gone, I pray I'll have left something good to live on. What a heiritage she left you! |

Dear Maureen, There is something Special about a Mother's Love, and something extra special about a Special Mother's Love! It sounds as if you you were blessed with the very Best kind, and I believe, that in time, your children will say the same of you. God Bless you, David "Our Creativity points to a Higher Creator--we couldn't have just happened, and for what ability we may possess--to God be the glory." -dlw- |

Maureen - What a lovely tribute to your Mom. The "bug thing"...been there as a child and as a mother.....can't escape those little creatures.....as you said, it's all a part of life. And it sounds like the life you and she shared was beautiful. My Mom's been gone for almost 17 years, and I know she's still with me, guiding and helping me along....as is yours. Thanks for sharing this, Bonnie |
