To the woman who not only gave me a beautiful start;
But instilled in me an appreciation for art
Today I’m celebrating that you knew how to laugh and have fun;
But Mama, without you, at times…I still feel undone
It’s been thirty four years
Oh the tears
The juxtaposition of life
Who I miss
What I wish I could fix
To you making us laugh in our childhood dining room of blue
Which is what I am today without you
I go forward, look Upward, impacted positively by your sweet life
Though the pain of loss still cuts like a knife
I will hold onto Truth:
I know you are with the Lord
Living out, an in, an eternal reward
