About this poem:

This is a poem I wrote as a memorial to my mother and read at her funeral. She was a magnificent woman ... extremely loving, thoughtful, caring, never judgemental to anyone she ever met. She would always see the positive in anyone or any situation ... she was a woman who knew who she was and accepted everyone for who they were ... There was always room in her heart for one more soul ... She never placed herself before others ... even as she was dying, she refused to leave us until she made sure in her heart that we were ready and accepted that it was her time to go ... Through her life and through her death she inspired me to be the best person I can ... she raised the bar incredibly high ... I only hope that I can reach the heights in my life that she did in hers ... Thank you Mom ... I Love You and Will Miss You Always ...
