“One day at a Time”.

What she wanted most was

for all of us to always love,

support, forgive, and be there

for each other.

Most of all to know God.

She never failed to do her best,

Her heart was true and tender,

She toiled hard for

those she loved,

And she left them to remember,

A loving mother,

so strong and true,

Her equals on this earth are few,

If we had this world to give,

We would give it and more,

to see our loving mother,

Come smiling through the door.

One more chance to say,

“Mom, I love you,

Mom, I’m sorry for

causing you hurt,

Mom, good-bye…

but I will see you, again”.

Those who have a mother,

Should tend her with care,

For you never know her value,

Till you see her vacant chair.

“We love you, Mom.

Thanks for the memories.”
