A Mother Gone

I am doing a eulogy at the funeral of a good friends mother on thursday - this was written as a verse for their card to hand out.
A Mother Gone
©Irene Conner 01.05.2012
Two arms that always held us dear
Have left our earthly realm.
A family in mourning now,
No Mother at the helm.
We’ll cry our tears forever more,
Her voice we’ll long to hear,
But memories within our hearts
Will hold her ever near.
Our Mother shaped us lovingly
To be the ones we are,
And from her final resting place,
She’ll be our guiding star.
A loving Nan no longer speaks
To guide her grandkids’ way,
But she’ll be watching over us
Through every lonely day.
Reflect upon the good times shared,
Don’t linger on her death.
She’s in the breeze that gently swirls,
She’s in our every breath.
She rests in peace with loved ones gone
But she will not depart
For she will live forever in
The recess of our heart.
