A Mother's Day Poem by Eleanor Lambert, Bermuda

TO MY SIBLINGS, KEN. AUDREY, RAY AND LINDA
            

OUR MOTHER WOULD BE 107 SHOULD SHE BE HERE TODAY
SHE WAS TAKEN 23 YEARS AGO TO HER HOME ACROSS THE WAY.
 

ALTHOUGH SHE IS NOT WITH US HER MEMORIES EVER LINGER
SHE WAS THE LIFE OF EVERY PARTY AND EVEN A GOOD SINGER.
 

YES, HER TALENTS THEY WERE MANY, JUST TO NAME A FEW,
MUSICIAN, RECITING, STORY TELLING AND WRITING POETRY T00.
 

SHE WAS THE KIND OF MOTHER YOU DON’T SEE MUCH NOW ADAY,
ALWAYS THERE FOR HER FAMILY TO HELP OUT IN ANY WAY.
 

SHE ALSO REACHED OUT TO OTHERS WHENEVER THERE WAS A NEED,
MAKING ROOM IN OUR SMALL ABODE FOR ONE MORE MOUTH TO FEED.
 

SHE WAS NOT PERFECT, BUT WHO IS, ONLY GOD ABOVE,
BUT SHE SURE SET GOOD EXAMPLES BY HER KINDNESS AND HER LOVE.
 

OUR MOTHER WILL ALWAYS BE WITH US EVEN THOUGH SHE’S FAR AWAY,
FOR THE GOOD MEMORIES WE HAVE OF HER WILL ALWAYS BE HERE TO STAY.
 

                     HAPPY MOTHERS DAY IN HEAVEN MOM..
