OUR MOM Our mom was our anchor, Our mom was our wings, Our mom was our source of strength, And many wondrous things. She showed us love and patience, And taught us right from wrong. And by the way she lived her life, We knew her faith was strong. She sacrificed so much for us Expecting no reward, But the best of all things she did, Was to bring us to the Lord. He knew you were suffering, He knew you were in pain, We all were there to say good-bye, But still the questions, "Why?" When we saw you sleeping, So calm and free from pain, We would not wish you back to earth To suffer once again. It broke our hearts to lose you, But you did not go alone, For part of us went with you, The day God called you home.
