bits from poems and songs...

She never failed to do her best
Her heart was true and tender
She worked and toiled for those she loved
And left them to remember

We lost a mother with a heart of gold
How much we miss her can never be told
She shared our troubles and helped us along
If we follow her footsteps
We will never go wrong

She was a mother so very rare
Content in her home and always there
On earth she toiled, in heaven she rests
God bless you mother you were one of the best

______________________________

Our lips cannot speak how we loved her
Our hearts cannot tell what to say
But god only knows we miss her

She bade no one a last farewell
She raised her hand to none
Her spirit flew before we knew
That she from us had gone

_____________________

The day you left us mother
Our hearts just broke in two,
The smallest part is still with us,
The biggest part with you

For the rest of our lives
We will miss you mother
Our secret tears still flow
How we really loved you
No one will ever know
__________________

They say there is a reason
They say that time will heal
But neither time nor reason
Will change the way we feel

No on knows the heartache
That lies behind the smiles
No one knows how many times
We have broken down and cried

We want to tell you something
So there wont be any doubt
You're so wonderful to think of
And so hard to be without

When you are walking down the street
And you've got me on your mind
I'm walking in your footsteps
Only half a step behind

And when you feel that gentle breeze
Or the wind upon your face
That's me giving you a hug
Or just a soft embrace

________________________


And now its too late to hold you
Cus you've flown away, so far away
Never would i imagine
Living without your smile
Feeling and knowing you hear me
Keeps me alive
I know your smiling down on me from heaven
I know eventually we'll be together one sweet day
I never showed you, assumed you'd always be there
I took your presence for granted
But i always cared. i miss the love we shared.
