Norma

I still see us sitting out there on your porch

Talking 'bout everything under the sun

Going out to eat, laughing over a meal

Sisters and best friends, all rolled into one

When Mama passed on and the shadows grew deep

You became the mother who guided my feet

Oh, Norma, you were the rock that we leaned on

Selfless and steady, encouraging, strong

You carried our burdens and held onto hope

Singing your faith like a sweet gospel song

I never said it enough while I could

How much I admired the ground where you stood

When I was just struggling to get on my feet

You opened your door without thinking twice

You brought the kids and me into your home

And sheltered us there with your gentle advice

You loved on our family and gave us a place

Wrapped up in your arms and your everyday grace

Oh, Norma, you were the rock that we leaned on

Selfless and steady, encouraging, strong

You carried our burdens and held onto hope

Singing your faith like a sweet gospel song

I never said it enough while I could

How much I admired the ground where you stood

You carried a cross that no mother should bear

When you lost your boy to a tragedy's pain

But somehow you held to your faith through the fire

You still loved this life as you walked through the rain

Your wisdom and courage, they inspire me still

I didn't say it enough, but I promise I will

Oh, Norma, you were the rock that we leaned on

Selfless and steady, encouraging, strong

You carried our burdens and held onto hope

Singing your faith like a sweet gospel song

I never said it enough while I could

How much I admired the ground where you stood

Yes, I'll always admire the ground where you stood
