Hands that have held many babies
Hands that have made many meals
Hands that have closed in prayer
Hands that have did the chores
Hands that have held me.
Love that was always there
Guiding me thru life's journey
Never having to wonder
Always knowing you cared
Eyes so full of love
Reflecting from the heart
Even as you get ready to go
With your wisdom you part
Not just with words
With the way you lived
Were the best lessons you ever gave
Now I look and here you lay
Resting in your grave
But even tho you are gone
I keep you here in my heart
Loving you from the start
So mother to mother I hope I turn out to be
Half the woman you were
That would be good enough for me.
