Edward Ebbs Poet Rhyme

Wish You Were Here Mom

Our Father in heaven gave us a special gift.
Mom was one who kept us from going adrift.

The sound of her voice took away our fears.
Mom was the one who heard our tears.

She had a gift for calming and healing.
Mom always knew how we were feeling. 

When it was hard to hold on to life’s rope.
Mom was the one who taught us how to cope

She would tell us to get on our knees every day.
Mom was the one who taught us how to pray.

Her words are with us for we are apart.
Mom loved us deeply with all her heart.

We reach our arms up to heaven and wish we could touch.
Mom, we just want you to know we still love you very much.

Edward J. Ebbs - Written 4/07/2013, for a eulogy, Mom's Funeral

Laura Breidenthal August 15, 2014 at 10:10 PM This is so very sweet. I love the hope in this dedication to your mom. Excellently penned. Thank you for sharing! Always, Laura Edward Ebbs September 12, 2014 at 2:42 PM Thank You Laura; Mom had some heart problems and we were given a 2 to 5 years and she past 2 months later. We did not have a chance to prepare...I guess this is why we need to make sure we are always in the right place with those we love, and make sure they know they are loved.
