Mary

Beautiful and caring, with a spirit made of gold

But Mary had a fire that was a wonder to behold

A mother who would love you and give you all she had

Through every single season, the good times and the bad

She was the rock we leaned on, so steady and so strong

Guiding us with kindness when everything went wrong

But don't you cross her boundaries, she didn't play no games

She loved us all so fiercely, and she always called our names

Oh, Mary, you were loving, beautiful and kind

Leaving such a heavy, aching space behind

I know you're up in heaven, where the weary souls can rest

You were a feisty kind of angel, and we loved you at your best

If you couldn't find her at the house, you knew where she would go

Down at her second home, waiting on a bingo

She had her lucky numbers and a dauber by her side

Playing every single card with a whole lot of pride

As she moved up in age, she started letting cuss words fly

Saying exactly what she thought, and never being shy

She was so funny with it, she’d make the table roar

Just a feisty, loving woman we couldn't help but adore

Oh, Mary, you were loving, beautiful and kind

Leaving such a heavy, aching space behind

I know you're up in heaven, where the weary souls can rest

You were a feisty kind of angel, and we loved you at your best

November twenty-second, the year was twenty-two

God called your only grandson, and it broke the heart in you

The winter felt so heavy, the sorrow ran so deep

You missed that boy so badly, you wept yourself to sleep

Four months is all you lasted with that aching in your chest

You had to go and find him, you had to go and rest

On the fourth of March in twenty-twenty-three

You packed your bags for heaven to keep him company

I know he ran to meet you right beside the pearly gate

He only had to wait four months, you didn't make him wait

Now you're watching over us, together in the light

My beautiful, sweet mother, making everything alright

Oh, Mary, you were loving, beautiful and kind

Leaving such a heavy, aching space behind

I know you're up in heaven, where the weary souls can rest

You were a feisty kind of angel, and we loved you at your best

Yeah, you're with your grandson now, and we love you at your best
