Carmen

Carmen, you always had a will of steel

A fierce protector with a love so real

Your children and your grandchildren all know

You are the light that makes our family grow

You stood your ground through every storm we faced

And built a home that nothing could erase

Oh Mother, let the rhythm bring you peace

May every worry in your mind release

We'll walk this road and make the journey kind

And hold the precious thoughts you leave behind

I love you more than any words can say

We'll be your memory and light the way

I still remember how you used to laugh

A joyful echo on our family's path

Before the diagnosis brought the gray

Before the images began to fray

But even as the shadows softly fall

Your strong and beautiful spirit guides us all

Oh Mother, let the rhythm bring you peace

May every worry in your mind release

We'll walk this road and make the journey kind

And hold the precious thoughts you leave behind

I love you more than any words can say

We'll be your memory and light the way

You gave us everything, you made us strong

And now it's time for us to sing your song

We'll make this chapter comfortable and sweet

And guide the careful steps beneath your feet

There is no fear when we are by your side

Our endless love will always be your guide

Oh Mother, let the rhythm bring you peace

May every worry in your mind release

We'll walk this road and make the journey kind

And hold the precious thoughts you leave behind

I love you more than any words can say

We'll be your memory and light the way
