Dear Chris, Anne Marie and family
We were so sorry to hear of your Mother's passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
We wanted to send you a poem. We hope that it may give you some small peace and solace during such a sad and difficult time.
Please accept our deepest sympathy,
Cameron,Maggie,Christopher and Kevin Cole
MOTHERS
Mothers never die...
They just keep house up in the sky.
When we are children
We are happy and gay
and our Mother is young
and she laughs as we play.
Then as we grow up
She teaches us truth
and lays life's foundation
in the days of our youth.
And then it is time
for us to leave home,
but her teachings go with us
wherever we roam.
For all that she taught us,
and all that we did
when we were so often
just a "bad, little kid"
We will often remember
and then realize
that Mothers are SPECIAL,
and wonderfully wise....
And as she grows older,
we look back with love
knowing that Mothers
are GIFTS FROM ABOVE!
And when she "goes home"
to receive her reward
she will dwell in God's Kingdom
and keep house for the Lord
Where she'll "light up" the stars
that shine through the night
and keep all the moonbeams
"sparkling and bright"
And then with the dawn
she'll put the darkness away
as she "scours" the sun
to new brilliance each day....
So dry tears of sorrow,
For Mothers don't die....
They just move in with God
and keep house in the sky!
And there in God's Kingdom,
Mother's watch from above,
To welcome their children
with their UNDYING LOVE!!!
