One Lasting Kiss

 

It seems time has a habit of slipping quickly past;

Years were only yesterday, now memories, long last.

I find there are too many of “What If ‘s” in my mind.

But I know that it was meant to be- for it was my Mama‘s time.

 

My Mama lived a simple life, she never traveled far.

She only had one fancy dress, and she never drove a car.

All that mattered to my Mom were her husband and her kids.

She made sure home was special, and cooked some meals- she did.

 

She raised us all with values that are with us still today.

She told us we were precious- each in our own way.

And when the grandkids came along her heart was full of joy.

I think it made her life complete, when baby sister had a boy.

 

She was so many things to us and always she was there.

Phone calls, visits, shopping trips- you always knew she cared.

How I do wish Heaven had a phone, so we could talk awhile.

Oh just to hear her voice once more, would make my sad heart smile.

 

I know I speak for all of us, when I say she’s sorely missed.

And I pray that God will give to her- for us, one lasting kiss.

All the things my Mama did; I’ll never comprehend.

She’ll always be within my heart, for we were the Best of Friends.
