Remembering a wonderful Mother'

on her First anniversary (25th June)

and her birthday (27th June)

 

A Mother's Crown.

Heaven lit up with a mighty presence as the Angels all looked down

Today the Lord was placing the jewels into my Mother's Crown.

He held up a golden Crown as my darling Mother looked on he said in his gentle voice I will now explain each one.

The first gem he said is a ruby and it's for endurance alone

For all the nights you waited up for your children to come home.

For all the nights by their bedside you stayed till the fever went down 

For nursing every little wound I add this ruby to your crown.

An emerald I'll place by the ruby for leading your child in the right way

For teaching them the lessons that made them who they are today.

For always being right there through all life's important events

I give you a sapphire stone for the time and love that you spent.

For untying the strings that held them when they grew up and left home

I give you this one for courage then the Lord added a garnet stone.

I'll place a stone of amethyst he said for all the times you spent on your knees

When you asked if I'd take care of your children and then for having faith in me.

I have a pearl for every little sacrifice that you made without them knowing

For all the times you went without

To keep them happy healthy and growing.

And last of all I have a diamond the greatest one of all 

For sharing the unconditional love whether they were big or small.

It was your love that helped them grow feeling safe and happy and proud

A lovely so strong and pure it could shift the darkest cloud.

After the Lord placed the last jewel in he said

Your Crown is now complete.

You have earned your place in Heaven

With your children at your feet.
 

Happy Birthday Mam

Love and miss you always.
