We have been through a lot Mom, you and I Until the day that we had to say goodbye I had the privilege of caring for you all of these years Wiping your tears, holding your hand, and talking you through your fears You are one of the strongest people that I have come to know Full of courage and bravery tied up with a bow Always willing to lend an ear Whenever your children or grandchildren were near Kind to whomever would approach you Giving without thought to those you knew Supportive of dreams in the hearts of others Pushing away troubled doubts that got in the way Encouraging those dreams to be filled the very next day Love to all was most important in your heart You were a joy and gift to this family ‘til the day we had to part Now fly to Heaven with great peace Healthy and triumphant in your release Give all of our loved ones there a hug and a kiss Let them all know that they will be greatly missed You were the sunshine in our lives We can’t wait to see you in Heaven when we arrive -Your loving daughter, Raelyn
