Her shadow fell, silent, across my life Inspiring, enlightening, mesmerizing Reminding me why I had to give all I could With a heart wide open in hopes of doing good This woman, my mom, the one who held my hope Created a love inside my soul that smiled Through the dark and left kindness in the minds Of everyone who I passed on my way through life This woman, my encourager, taught me that… Being the light was sometimes more important Than being the one who wins the victory and More essential to the serenity within the soul This woman who gave me life, gave me a light To shine through the darkest of nights – into the hearts Who came into my world looking for a whisper of the sun Breaking through the darkest of storms, breathing in love And breathing out a compassion that lights up the world This woman, my mother, was the example of joy The pattern for patience, the paradigm of grace And the gentle affection that smiled on my face In praise for the One who gives this light and love With a open hand – this free gift that is alive Breathing and breaking through fear and sorrow Assuring the heart that love dances on the dawn Awakens the mind and reassures the soul who knows God has always been and always will be with me I’m so thankful to know this woman who told me God is love and love is God… forever and always Abiding within the one who knows His Son Thank you, God, for your Son and my wonderful Mom!
