In Loving Memory of You Mum
Mum, I am not quite sure what to say,
But a big part of me left with you that day
God called you home and you said goodbye.
Although silent your farewell, I can’t deny
My peace at the freedom you have now.
Freedom from tears so your singing can be heard,
Freedom from pain to dance free again,
Freedom from sorrow as only joy abounds.
Whilst here with us you taught us a lot,
How to read and write and we never forgot.
You worked so hard and gave life your all,
You fought your fight and did your best to stand tall.
So, grief may fill the hole that’s now left,
But memories will remind us that we’re blessed.
And despite human imperfections,
Mum your love and unique display of affection,
Will continue to shape all our lives,
Making brighter lights that will forever thrive.
So, although I cry and mourn tonight,
Although silent your farewell, I can’t deny
My peace at the freedom you have now.
Freedom from tears so your singing can be heard,
Freedom from pain to dance free again,
Freedom from sorrow as only joy abounds.
Mum, you will always have a special place in our hearts.
In loving memory of you mum.
