My children, please don’t cry for me
My earthen time was blessed
Your lives shall be my legacy
Though I am now at rest
The crystal skies I see each day
Reflect your smiles so bright
And while I am so far away
You’re in my soul, each night.

My children, please pursue your dreams
Don’t ever be afraid
Walk freely ‘neath the warm sunbeams
Over each dell and glade
So soon, your goals will be in view
Your hearts will find their way
And I will be so proud of you
Much more than words can say.

My children, know you’ll always be
My life’s greatest reward
And though, the Lord has set me free
You’ll always be adored
I’ll listen closely for your sighs
While hoping you’ll find calm
Though, we’ve said our earthen goodbyes
I’ll always be your Mom.
