There's a special place that mothers hold that no one else can fill
And only time and help from God will help our hearts to heal.
Though you are not here physically for us to look at or to see
In our hearts and on our minds, you will always be.
So we must hold fast to memories of the moments that we shared
Throughout our lives, there was never a doubt of how much you truly cared.
When things went wrong, as they sometimes did, you were always by our side.
To encourage us and pray for us to allow Jesus to be our guide.
And oh we can't forget the good times, the times we did laugh & smile
The family celebrations, vacation trips, or just talking on the phone for a while.
But you knew this time would surely come; this day we would one day face.
So you, in your love and wisdom, set a perfect plan in place.
As youngsters you introduced us to God by showing us his holy way
Grace before meals and bedtime prayers were a part of each and every day.
You helped nurture our bond with God and a relationship did form
All a part of your marvelous plan to help us weather this storm.
You had no choice, you had to leave...but you entrusted us with the best
Your perfect gift...your legacy...will help us withstand this test.
But this is no surprise to you; you arranged it from the start
By planting your love and legacy deep within our hearts.
Happy Mother's Day in Heaven Mama! We love you and miss you. Though our hearts are still heavy and the tears continue to fall, we are going to hold fast to everything you taught us and continue to trust HIM.
----Love Always...Tasha
