Through many years of memories,
Brief moments stand apart;
The memories of my mother,
Are planted in my heart.

I loved her so very much,
For her sacrifice and love;
Of what she did for others,
And how God was glad above.

She was of such great beauty,
Her body so slim and tall;
She had so many qualities,
Of which were great and small.

She was very tender and so very kind,
Her beauty so sweet and fair;
Her body flowing with many perfumes,
Her fragrance filled the air.

As a young boy who stood in the doorway,
My heart so filled with song;
Knowing not that this moment,
Would be with me all life long.

It was on a June morning,
That I laid sleeping in my bed;
And the Lord called my mother,
To rest her sweet head.

She's not here now,
Nor will she ever be;
But one day soon in glory land,
Her face again I'll see.

Yes, I have many years of memories,
That are only brief moments apart;
The fond memories of my mother,
Will always be painted in my heart.
