"We continually remember before our God and Father your work produced by faith, your labor prompted, and your endurance inspired by hope in our Lord, Jesus Christ."                 1 Thessalonians 1:3

So many things of Mom I miss, her gentle hug and tender kiss,

I still can feel her warm embrace and yet picture her loving face.

A Mothers' work is never done and Heaven must have needed one

For angels' came and took her hand and led her to GOD'S promised land.

She's surely kept quite busy there brushing little Angels' hair.

Although there's sadness, this I know she's waiting there, her face aglow.

I close my eyes and I can see her arms still open wide for me.

I Love And Miss You Mom
