We miss her more as the years go by
    Time has not healed our pain
Memories still bring a tear to our eye
Our love for Mama will never wane.
 

  She looked to God for all her strength
To bless her children with love and care
And wisdom to teach us right from wrong
  Never to be selfish and always share!
 

The family worship hour we knew well
  Each night when chores were done
Stories from the Bible she would read,
Prayers were said and hymns were sung!
 

  In her travels, a stranger she never met
There is good in everyone she often said
Young and old alike they were the same
    No matter from whence they came.
 

  She was our Mama but also our friend
   We looked to her in many ways,
  On her advice we could always depend
   To guide us through all our days!
 

     Mama’s birthday will soon be here
  No party planned; no ice cream or cake. 
     We miss her more each passing year
  A beautiful angel she must surely make!
