She was always an angel
our Daddy said
she just didn't have her wings
She was our guardian
our protector, our mother,
the one whose waist we did cling
She was the one
who read us bedtime stories
and sang us to sleep at night
She was the one
who greeted us after school
With sandwiches cut how we like
She was gentle and kind
she had nearly no flaws
everyone had to look up to her
She was an example
of how everyone should be
we are proud we could call her Mother
But her life was cut short
by a clumsy, fat man
whom we had to unwillingly forgive
She brought us into this world
and taught us so much
her life was certainly well lived
She is with God now
And while it is hard,
We must move on to new things
But we are assured knowing
she's where she belongs
our angel has earned her wings
