RECENTLY A DEAR FRIEND OF MINE LOST HER MOTHER AND I WROTE THIS FOR HER IN THE HOPES IT WOULD GIVE HER SOME COMFORT. TO ALL OF YOU WHO'S MOTHERS HAVE PASSED I HOPE THIS MAY BRING A SMILE AND A FOND MEMORY. 
                                DEAR BETH,

IT BREAKS OUR HEARTS WHEN ANGELS COME
                                               TO TAKE A MOTHER HOME.
THOSE TIES THAT BIND ARE BROKEN NOW
                                               AND SUDDENLY SHE'S GONE.

SHE GAVE US LIFE, SHE NURTURED US,
                                                SHE KEPT US SAFE FROM HARM.
WHEN WE WERE SICK, WHEN WE WERE SCARED
                                                 HER OPEN ARMS WERE WARM.

THERE WERE THOSE TIMES WE MADE HER SAD
                                                AND SHE TOOK US ALL TO TASK.
SHE MADE US LEARN OUR RIGHTS FROM WRONGS
                                                 LOVE OTHERS IS ALL SHE ASKED.

YOU WILL MISS YOUR MOM EACH PASSING DAY
                                                 HER STRENGTH, HER SMILE, HER LOVE.
BUT YOU WILL ALWAYS FEEL HER LOVING EYES
                                                 AS THEY ARE WATCHING FROM ABOVE.

LORD, I PRAY YOU WILL TAKE CARE OF HER
                                                  AS ONLY YOU CAN DO
FOR SHE HAS TAKEN CARE OF BETH
                                                  AS ONLY SHE COULD DO.

BETH, YOUR MOM WAS PROUD OF YOU
                                                  I GUARANTEE YOU THAT!
FOR YOU HAVE HELD YOUR HEAD UP HIGH
                                                  NOW KEEP MARCHING FORWARD, STAT!!
                            
                                              LUV U, LIZ
