PEGGY RUTH

 

My dear mother, as your special day draws near,

I have some memories in my heart I want to share with you,

You knew how much I loved you and held our time so dear,

Everyday we shared so much that was beautiful and new.  

 

In the prime of your life on earth, God called you home with Him,

He had a special place in Heaven that only my mom could fill,

In my eyes you were created as one most perfect gem,

And though 39 years have passed, every day I miss you still.

I cried that day God took you home, I felt so all alone,

How could I ever finish my life without your loving care,

How hard it was to leave the grave, and journey back to home,

My mom had left and gone to Heaven, and I still had much to share.

          As the days went by, the angels came and ministered to my soul,

I knew you were there with me, through my journey to this day,

When days are long and hard for me, when the winds blow ever cold,

You are the sunshine that comes to me and helps me on my way.

             I love you mom, more every day, and wait patiently for that season,

Where flowers will grow all year round, and the sunshine is ever so bright,

Because Christ shed his blood for me, His love for me the only reason,

We will be together one glorious day in His everlasting light.

I honor you my precious mom, on this your special day,

God has blessed me with Howard, Lee, Charlotte and Tori Jade,

I keep you and your precious face in my heart along my way,

And thank you for your guidance in all life's decisions I have made.

                     I am at peace and know one day we will meet on that beautiful shore

To sing His praise and ever be with our precious Heavenly Father

I am His child and He guides me, as you did long before

And all the trials of this old world will no longer be a bother.

 

 

Written for my precious mom, Peggy, who left for Heaven in 1969. 

 Thank you for making me the person I am today. 

 I miss you and love you always.
