Years of striving, little of play Loving, giving, the whole of the way A cherished smile, a heart of gold To the dearest Mother the world could hold Happy memories fond and true From us who thought the world of you Beautiful memories are treasured forever Of happy days when we were together With aching hearts we whisper low, God Bless you Mom, we'll miss you so.
