My mother prayed for me
and I felt every prayer
with a humble, loving heart
she placed me in God's care
She never ask for riches
or material things and such
to her those kind of things
never did matter much
She only ask for prosperity
and happiness without end
peace for my very soul
and love as my true friend
She ask God to walk with me
and stay close by my side
and shelter me from life's storms
his presence always abide
She prayed so earnestly
as only a mother can do
with a mother's faithful heart
in the only way that she knew
Even when her life was at end
before her final breath
she ask God to comfort me
then closed her eyes in death

I post this today with sadness and tears.
Happy Mother's Day everyone.
I was also with my Mother when she passed...there was the most beautiful sunset that evening, which I hold fast too. Heartfelt words Susie...they live on in our hearts.
