My Mother

My pearl my love my everything

                                          All and all she was all of that

                           Concieved I was carried  through the shadow of death

                                      Born from love rained from above

                                 Her heart is now opened to another world

                                  She walked through the perils of this life

                                     Laughter and pain though sustained

                                    By the highest power of whom she belonged

                                Leaving no stone unturned always well maintained

                                                Beautiful lady ever so happy

                                     Gorgeous and proud gone out of this world

                                                    She left without me

                                             And went to her home above

                                            Eyes twinkled ever so bright

                                          You could see them in the night

                                    Her smile touched the depths of my heart

                                       I always loved her from the very start

                                          My imagination here is very clear

                                                How I held my mother dear

                                           She is now taking her eternal rest

                                                    I will always love her

                                                      She was the best
