Mama

Pink tones flowers and lace,

Smile beaming across her face.

Gentle way but tough as nails,

Compassionate support that never fails.

Feminine natural beauty at first sight,

Inner beauty so profound and bright.

Full of laughter and sensitive cries,

A life of honesty and never lies.

Profound love for all that truly mattered,

Compassion for those broken and shattered.

A Heart of gold and gentle touch,

Family is who she loved so much.

A life full of happiness and joy,

A husband, and her girls and boys.

Many grand babies and great grandkids too,

Forever grateful Mama, for this life with you.

A Tribute to Marilyn Rauschnot

Marilyn Rauschnot is heaven bound,

The angels are singing and rejoicing all around.

No more grieving, sorrow, or constant pain,

Thanks to God's precious gift that was slain.

Our hearts are saddened, and today we grieve.

But we have our precious memories; for this we gratefully receive.

Here is my prayer; it is simple and sincere,

May time heal our hearts; strength to deal with the here.

This I'm certain and know for sure,

Marilyn is now free; she found her cure.

She is rejoicing and praising; God's love is so pure.

You see, we humans cannot comprehend what we cannot see,

But angels are all around Marilyn, and you know what I mean.

Noni and my sister Teresa are already on the scene.
