My little cousin, Junior, lost his mom when she was only 39 and he was 9. It was such a devastating time for him – her pet name for Junior was “June Bug” Junior had a beautiful mom Unlike any other Never knew a heart so calm Ever the amazing mother! Blessed by her light, her sacrifice Unending grace beyond a price Glory to God for love so nice!

Very tight syllable count and wonderful flow. I'm not a god poet but I don't deny God or any other religion or the same. It was a really nice that I appreciated.
