Mom
A Mother’s love is one of a kind
It has the power to make everything
fine
More than fine, their love is the
best
Well sadly ours has gone to her rest
She was the rock of our family there
is no doubt
She was the steady hand, always stout
We all think our Mother is second to
none
Seriously if it was a contest, we’d
have won
Nothing against any other,
We were just blessed with a very
special Mother
Almost 92 and still living alone
When you stopped by you knew you were
at home
She raised us right and with a firm
hand
Taught us to be fair and when to take
a stand
From a little town in Missouri she
came
Two daughters and three sons shared
her last name
Several grand and great grand
children got to feel her love
Grammie Annie now watches them from
above
Many enjoyed waffles from her secret
recipe
No doubt it will
carry on as part of her great legacy
She will be
missed and there will always be an empty space
There are just
some things this world cannot replace
The warmth of a
Mother’s smiling face
Her beauty,
humility and her grace
We are better
off for being raised under her watchful care
It didn’t take
long to learn the difference in her glance or glare
We will miss you
dearly and we hope time will help us heal
It is so hard to
think that the end is finally real
Say hi to Dad,
you have been apart too long
We love you and
miss you Ann, Grammie and Mom
