My Dear Sweet Mom

My Mom was a simple lady That's not meant to be demeaning A sweetie with a heart of gold Still, see her gentle face gleaming Passed away over forty years ago But I still remember her smile A smile that told me all was good In her own sweet tender style You'd think that after over forty years Her memory would surely fade Not so, her memory is alive and well Just proves the impact she made She was simple in the way she lived Just a plain old fashioned Mom The kind they write about in novels Always graceful as a swan Still, miss my dear sweet Mom Lived a good life until she was eighty Always admired the best in people A true description of a lady
