As I look up
I see skies of blue
Mom, it was than
I thought of you....

Always happy
So many smiles
The stories you loved to tell....

It was your time
To find the love
Of your life
It was your time
To bring in love
Of many children....

Your travels
Which were many
Pop at your side
Family camping
You loved it so
That's just from
The stories I was told...

The love you have
Melted towards
The children you and Pop had
As they also shared it
Towards their children too....

Never a better person
To talk with
No judgments from you
When needed the talk
It was offered to us
Than would come laughter
Mom, that's you....

It's hard to let a person go
When love is involved
But as I feel the Spirit
Oh yes, its all around you....

I say Mom,
It's time to go
We see it, feel it too
We all will be fine
You taught your children well
Pop is ready for you....

As your room is prepared
In the heavens above
Open skies
Up with Mom you go....

Spread your wings to heaven
We will miss you so
The memories we shall cherish
This we all now.....
