My Wonderful MomMom
We had a wonderful mommom
One who never really grew old
Her laughter was full of life and comfort
And her heart was loving.
Her eyes were bright as stars and heart was full of love
We had a wonderful mommom
And that’s the way it will always be
But take heed, because she”s still keeping an eye on all of us
So let’s make sure she will like what she’s sees
Mommom fed us well, made us strong
She taught us right from wrong
She made us feel like we belong
Mommom always had that special touch
We will always love you so much
You always knew how we felt
And she knew the right words to say
So that we could feel secure in every way
So we pray will see you again one day
We are left behind, not to be without but to look forward to the day we see you smile again
Poem from Juanita dade to friends and family
Weep not for me
Weep not for me for I have gone
Into the gentle night
Grieve if you will, but not for long
Upon my soul’s sweet flight
I am at peace, my soul’s at rest
There is no need for tears, please wipe those tears away
For with your love , I was so blessed to share space and time with you for many years
There is no pain. I suffer no more
The fear is all gone
Put these thoughts out of your mind
I am in a peaceful place
In your memory I live on
Remember not my fight for breath
Remember not the strife
Please do not dwell on my death
But instead celebrate my Lifeߤ
-------------------------
Thank you to anyone for your care and support throughout the journey of me and my family caring for my mother. For over two decades we had the honor of caring for my Mother, one of God͢s previous gifts. We could not have made it to the finish-line without you.
We are forever grateful to you for your love and support.
Warmest Regards,
The Family
