Devoted



A devoted mother
Whose angel like wings
Stretched far beyond her five boys
And beloved
Devoted to Jehova
A perfect queen
Who's lightness of manner
Was first to be seen
Her laughter so warming
Filled her crystal eyes
And the hearts of her calling
Like sweet lullabys
To her many grandchildren
Like flowers in her garden
We love you forever
Without any parden
For your faultless love
Has graced our lives
Helping us survive
Encouraging us to strive
We know you'll always
Have us by your side
As we share this love
Far and wide
Bless you sweet mother
sister, wife and friend
Together our oneness
Here, now and 'till the end.
