A Eulogy To My Mother
A woman lost
Inside herself
All we ever wished for her
Was happiness and health
She tried so hard
To live a better life
Still all she felt inside
Was confusion, pain and strife
She was a sister and a friend
She was a daughter and a mother
She was a woman
Truly unlike any other
She had her problems
As we all do
But she was always persistant
Trying to push her way through
She lost her fight
After so many years
She will have no more heartache
She'll shed no more tears
A loving mother
And a dear friend
We all prayed for her
Until the very end
Until the end of time
May she be in our hearts
May we remember her beauty
Every time the sky parts
If everyone could have
Just half the heart as she
Imagine the world
That this could be
We all knew her as Diana
Some of us knew her as our Mother
From our loss of this wonderful person
Will truly be hard to recover
I sincerely hope
That in your eternal sleep
You, my dear sweet Mother
Have finally found your peace
