Lynn

Mother Lynn, your quiet strength is woven in my days,

A steady hand, a caring heart, a wise and gentle gaze.

You waited through my stumbling steps with patience as your guide,

A sanctuary of your love where I could safely hide.

I know the time can slip away with heavy words unsaid,

I keep the feelings in my soul and hold them there instead.

But hear this simple offering, and know the light shines through:

Mother, I just love you. I really, truly do.

I think of journeys in the sun beneath the western sky,

To California's golden coast and Vegas shining high.

We traveled out to see Aunt Zan, and Uncle Ned was there,

Those memories are sacred ground, surrounded by your care.

I know the time can slip away with heavy words unsaid,

I keep the feelings in my soul and hold them there instead.

But hear this simple offering, and know the light shines through:

Mother, I just love you. I really, truly do.

For every time you held your peace and let me find my way,

For every sacrifice you made that I could not repay.

Your wisdom is a quiet hymn that echoes in my soul,

The grace you poured into my life is what has made me whole.

I know the time can slip away with heavy words unsaid,

I keep the feelings in my soul and hold them there instead.

But hear this simple offering, and know the light shines through:

Mother, I just love you.

Lynn, I really do.
