Mama, Endless Love

A Mother, a nurturer, teacher, and wife
Peace keeper, housekeeper, chauffer and friend
She disciplined, listened, gave advice, praises, too 
Encouraging her little ones to stand on their own

A multitasker, unselfishly, gave of her time
Seemingly, never wearied raising seven kids plus
A gentle spirit and a drill sargent as circumstance called 
Her humor and wit made hardwork feel like the breeze

When death made its demands three times in her life
Taking first her son, then husband and daughter in tow
Through each incredible loss, her unshakened faith remained
Mama, Perfect woman of God, an example of endless love

By nature, mothers have to be multitaskers, Audrey. Her "humor and wit" carried her through the rough patches with grace. Her influence can be seen in your spiritually uplifting writes. God blessed you with a wonderful mother! Love, Carolyn
