Shirley

Steal clothed in velvet, her love was strong and sure;
Her touch, soft and warm, held its own allure.
Inspiring all through kind actions to help out anyone;
Recalling the words of her Lord and the examples of His son;
Leading us down the path of Love and service to others
Every movement that she made, was a vision of “Mother.”
Years of emulation, knowing I'll never be everything that Mother was to our family.

Thanks. I'm thinking about joining more contest as they get the brain working. Spring Break is almost here, so I plan to use the time writing, or thinking of things to write at least...LOL
