Mum you gave me inspiration, you gave me my wing's
I can fly to wherever I want and do almost anything

You've shown me how to be a good person and a loving mum
You helped make me who I am today and the person I've become

You taught me right from wrong and helped me along the way
You helped lift my spirits when my world sometimes seamed grey

Your a wonderful mum an absolute angel and I strive to be like you
And from your constant love and devotion my eternal wings grew

Beautiful and heartfelt.  I am envious of any who may feel this way about their "mum".

This is an absolutely beautiful tribute to your mother!  I'm going to send it to mine, and tell her I found it here.

Dear Dale - I'm so very, very sorry your mom is gone.  She loved you so dearly and truly.  I believe you were her favorite child, if I might dare to say that.  I'm so glad we'll all be together again in Heaven.
Love, Rosemary

Dear Dale
I'm touched that you chose this and I'm honoured also.
You know alot of times we tend to take our mum's for granted and don't appreciated them until they are ill or no longer here with us, I try not to do that.
You must miss your mum terribly, feel free to e-mail me if you want to talk.
Hugs....Tracie~

Rosemary~
I'm also touched by your reply and I hope your mum like's this  
Tracie~

Sy~
I'm so glad you read this and I always appreciate your comments
Tracie~
