Evon

The quiet moments bring you back to me

Sixty-one years of your gentle melody

You had a patience that could calm the deepest sea

A quiet wisdom that you poured right into me

Evon, you knew exactly what to say

To chase the heavy clouds of doubt away

Oh, I'm missing you like crazy, Mom

But your beautiful spirit keeps me moving on

I still hear your laughter echoing down the hall

Your love was the safety net to catch me when I'd fall

From the magic in your kitchen to the warmth of your embrace

Evon, no one could ever take your place

You had a clever joke for every tear I cried

A brilliant sense of humor that you never tried to hide

Stirring comfort in the pots upon the stove

Feeding my soul with your recipes of love

For six decades and a year, I was blessed to be your child

Finding my peace in the shelter of your smile

Oh, I'm missing you like crazy, Mom

But your beautiful spirit keeps me moving on

I still hear your laughter echoing down the hall

Your love was the safety net to catch me when I'd fall

From the magic in your kitchen to the warmth of your embrace

Evon, no one could ever take your place

Though I can't reach out and hold your hand today

Everything you taught me is never gonna fade

I carry your strength, I carry your grace

In every sweet memory, I see your face

You built a foundation so steady and strong

In the beat of my heart is where you belong

And I'm missing you like crazy, Mom

But your beautiful spirit keeps me moving on

I still hear your laughter echoing down the hall

Your love was the safety net to catch me when I'd fall

From the magic in your kitchen to the warmth of your embrace

Evon, no one could ever take your place

Sixty-one years of a love that will never end
