Mom

Thinking back to the days we would spend at the park

Your beautiful smile always leaving a mark

We’d run in the grass with Cupcake the dog

Wrapped up in a love that was given by God

You’d cook my favorite dish, such a comforting taste

A tender provider in our sacred space

Even back then I could see you were strong

The faithful foundation where I belong

You are a survivor, a vessel of grace

Bringing the Lord's light to the darkest place

Strong-willed and resilient, a beautiful soul

Trusting in heaven to make our lives whole

Thank God for the mother He gave to me

A powerful overcomer for all to see

I remember the days when the cupboards were bare

Walking to the Salvation Army with a prayer

You took little scraps and made meals of joy

With a fierce, loyal love that nothing could destroy

When the house was so cold, you kept us all warm

When the lights all went out, you weathered the storm

You gave us your candles to light up the dark

And when my Dad died, your strength held my heart

You are a survivor, a vessel of grace

Bringing the Lord's light to the darkest place

Strong-willed and resilient, a beautiful soul

Trusting in heaven to make our lives whole

Thank God for the mother He gave to me

A powerful overcomer for all to see

I know you miss James, your baby brother

A bond so close, unlike any other

When he passed on, it took a piece of your heart

But even in heaven, you’re never apart

Treasure the memories and moments you made

His light in your spirit is never going to fade

He’s an angel now, watching your every step

A guardian of love that heaven has kept

You are a survivor, a vessel of grace

Bringing the Lord's light to the darkest place

Strong-willed and resilient, a beautiful soul

Trusting in heaven to make our lives whole

Thank God for the mother He gave to me

My powerful overcomer, for eternity
