1924-2017
I’m grateful to my
mother
Unlike any other
For mom gave me
life
And saw me through
the strife
Of growing up and
goofing up
Not even a newborn
pup,
Could match my
mother’s love
I thank the Lord
above
That she lived to
93
Yet her death still
haunts me

Dear Richard, the love for and from parents can be a bliss in life. Off course the missing hurts but the loving memory exists in the little chamber in your heart.
