A Mother's Love
By: Shay Cullen
A blossom blooms
and sheds its many seeds of life,
And a garden grows, tended by the hands that planted
In our hearts and minds the fruit of honest deeds.
A mother and a friend, a grandmother good and great.
She gave us life and friendship and her love,
More than we deserve.
She stood by us through our troubles and our trials,
Faithful to the end, and held our hands in hers,
She gave her blessings and her love -
To you these gifts I send.
With unshaken Faith in God to help and save,
And in the Holy Spirit to take her from the grave,
She lived as she believed, and fed the poor,
And prayed for peace, and did what is truly right.
Her spirit will endure the passing in the night,
To live for evermore.
