As some of you know, my momma passed away in 2005. Today would have been her 71st birthday so in honor of her memory I make this post dedicated to her.


Momma you will always be
My mother so loving and so loved by me
For God has taken you to be by his side
Now in Heaven is where you will reside

You have blessed my life in so many ways
I will cherish our memories until the end of my days
You left me too soon and this was not part of our plan
But God’s wishes always come before those of man

Without you I must travel the path alone
No longer my guide, the way you had shown
Your heart my have been weak, but you were strong
For your loving embrace I will always long

God sent you to me as a special gift from above
To teach me life’s lessons and shower me with your love
I will always remember your beautiful and smiling face
In my heart you will always have a very special place

A special bond we shared like no other
For this is possible for only Daughter and Mother
I thanked God for each day we were able to share
But without you in my life it is so difficult to bear

Being with God, I hope you will find joy and peace
In this I can find comfort and some happiness at least
For Momma you will always be
My Mother so loving and so loved by me







Momma,

I love you and miss you more than I can ever express with mere words. Today, in my heart, I wish you the grandest birthday of them all in Heaven with God and your loved ones who join you there. I can not yet but you are always in my thoughts and my heart each and every day.
