My Dearest Mother...

You have been a warrior of “light” in my life.
I look around at this amazing
family here with you now.
This is my face - I am the place where you are.
Love.
The family mantle covers you
with the rays of the sun in the daytime,
and the glow of the stars at night,
we will never part.
This is a forever together –
with infinite love, strength and courage
we hold hands for eternity.
I love you with all of my heart.

Legacy of Love

A wife, a mother, a grandma too,
This is the legacy we have from you.
You taught us love and how to fight,
You gave us strength, you gave us might.
A stronger person would be hard to find,
And in your heart, you were always kind.
You fought for us all in one way or another,
Not just as a wife not just as a mother.
For all of us you gave your best,
Now the time has come for you to rest.
So go in peace, you've earned your sleep,
Your love in our hearts, we'll eternally keep.
