Let Her Rip

She lived the kind of life she always wanted to 
like a lion out of cage fierce and always good 
full of laughter, she was an arrow built straight   
and like the ocean she poured out salty water 
                                        but, made you fast belong 
She was never afraid to love you with both arms 
detesting lies and cheaters, she said it like it was 
her Faith was bigger then a mustard seed and God? 
always first on her list it was written in her bible creed   
                                        yes , she was fair and strong 
She was born on Christmas Eve beneath Franciscan sky
lived to be a ripe old age until he claimed her as his own 
This Christmas the church bells won't be ringing loud, 
she's nestled  in His stable wrapped safely in His shroud
                                       RIP mom, you are my song.    

Dedicated to my mom who past away in August of this year.
