Kiss of Faith - For Mom

When youthful wings have taken flight
 and golden age has made her plight

 Inside remains our same strong soul
 despite the fight that takes its toll

 Though outwardly we slowly perish
 in our hearts it's God we cherish

 Hope stands stout to bring us through
 His hallowed love is all we'll pursue

 Until faith's sweet and final kiss
 ushers us on to eternal bliss

Thank you, Linda I told her about this...she never read it. She is 84 now and she and that photo of her when she was young inspired this. Thanks again, Linda
