You were there when we laughed and cried,
Standing at our daddy’s side.
You read us books, cleaned up our messes,
Ironed Larry’s shirts and made me dresses.
You taught us games and how to play fair,
And when times were tough we knew you were there.
You watched us stumble through our teens
Chasing our rainbows,
finding our dreams.
We walked through the doors of a mother’s heart
You were there still, always taking our part.
Soon grandchildren sat on your lap.
You watched them through school days and cradled their naps.
It’s hard for us to think and remember
The day Daddy died that lonely November.
We watched you move into an unknown place,
Carried by God’s amazing grace.
Life moved on yet you never changed
No matter the futures that time rearranged.
If you did not agree with choices we made,
You took a step backward and we knew you prayed.
Five generations,
Matriarch you stand
Holding our dreams in the palm of your hand.
We are so blessed to still
have you now
Walking through life and showing us how.
We give you our love as
your daughter and son,
And thank you so much for a job well done!
