She Has Aged Beautiful

Yes, Jesus went and prepared a place just like He said He'd do, He built for me a mansion, and one for [mother] too, and if her home was measured by her precious love divine, I know my mother's mansion is higher than mine.
                           ~ Albert E. Brumley Sr.

Now at ninety one she has aged beautiful,
her smile is delight as she greets the newest baby,
the new puppies, the winter hummingbird in the cold dawn
of morning breaking the blue mountain sky~
she hears the call of eternity echoing 
from the halls of heaven where angels wait
to welcome her home after a life lived well,
she wants to answer that call, to go home and be with God,
but she hesitates to leave her children,
for they have always been her bonny babies, 
how can she leave the ones she watched over all the long years?
Go, Mother, we will come to you by and by.

I’m sorry for your loss, I know ours is coming. I don’t think anyone can be ready for it. We are just thankful for the time we have with her.

sara Etgen-Baker January 4, 2026 at 7:14 AM your mom sounds like such a special lady. You're fortunate to have been able to share so many years with her. What a loving and touching tribute to her. Chetta Achara January 4, 2026 at 7:23 AM Yes. She is our blessing.

Paula Goldsmith January 2, 2026 at 11:18 AM "She Has Aged Beautiful" is a lovely write/tribute to your mother. Have you thought about printing this off on some pretty flower paper as a gift to your mother??? I bet she would love it. May want to frame it for her. "Good Luck" I did "Butterflies Will Welcome Spring." ~ "Happy New Year 2026" Have A Very Blessed New Year Writing Away............... Chetta Achara January 2, 2026 at 12:07 PM Thank you. Mom is special, but I may be biased!
