Mom A sweet lady we all knew A lady so kind with eyes of blue She loved her children and others to This lady I speak of so dear to me and you A heart of gold she had A kind word to share with us when we were sad Day after day always giving to those in need Never asking for anything for this kind deed Missed by us all we wish she was still here In our minds her memory remains crystal clear Through all the hurt and pain she felt With a hug and smile your heart she could melt Called Mom by those that Loved her so much We all will remember her gentle touch A stranger she never met Always ready to give with no regret An angel in heaven she must be An angel in heaven watching over you and me Her memory will always be Right here in my heart forever with me Paul Wilson 6-12-01 |
