TO MOMMY WITH LOVE!
You were given the breath of
life..which you truly enjoyed.
You worked, traveled, and
even raised a bundle of joy.
The bionic woman, I called
you, because there wasn't an obstacle you couldn't get through.
Loving your family is what you did best!
Being there for us was your
life, now it's taken a turn.
Our hearts are heavy, but
you're no longer in pain.
God needed you home, so we can't complain.
As I look into the sky, I can
see my mommy's face.
My heart can now rest,
because God doesn't make mistakes.
I'll miss you, God knows I will! And I'll be at peace until I see you again.
I love you, Mommy!
