A MOTHERS UNDYING LOVE
The time has come for you to go, to rest your body and your weary soul,
to walk on the clouds in Heaven above, to laugh and to smile with your one true love.
You were always there to lend a hand, to give support when we could not stand,
to make us laugh, to make us smile, to help us through that lonely mile.
We know you will always be there for us until the end of time grows near,
watching over us from Heaven above with a Mothers True Undying Love.
We love you Mom
