An Angel

(Sympathy Poems Mom - Funeral Poems Mother)

An angel lived among us,

A gift from God above.

She showered us with kindness

And shared with us her love.

She cherished every moment

With the man who was her life;

Walking hand in hand together,

Facing life with all its strife.

She loved her children dearly,

Each one a different way,

Nestled close within her heart.

Though, now, she’s far away.

She’s gone to live with Jesus.

But, she’s here with us, today,

Smiling down on every one of us,

And telling us she’s O.K.

Mother’s Hands

(Sympathy Poems Mom – Funeral Poems Mother)

Hands that rocked the cradle

From the moment of my birth,

Their tender touch remembered

By those still here on Earth.

Soft as silk those hands

That taught me how to pray,

Banishing childhood fears;

They soothed each one away.

When I grew much older

And troubles came my way,

Those hands caressing mine

Did more than words could say.

Mother’s hands were gentle,

They’re missed so very much,

I’d give the world to feel once more

Their warm and tender touch.

Those hands were full of comfort

Now they lie at rest,

But memories hold them close

To the ones they served the best.

That Wonderful Mother of Mine

(Sympathy Poems Mom – Funeral Poems Mother)

The moon never beams without bringing me dreams

Of that wonderful mother of mine.

The birds never sing but a message they bring

Of that wonderful mother of mine.

Just to bring back the time, that was so sweet to me,

Just to bring back the days, when I sat on her knee.

I pray every night to our Father above,

For that wonderful mother of mine.

I ask Him to keep her as long as He can

That wonderful mother of mine.

There are treasures on earth, that made life seem worthwhile,

But there’s none can compare to my mother’s smile.

You are a wonderful mother, dear old Mother of mine.

You’ll hold a spot down deep in my heart,

‘Till the stars no longer shine.

Your soul shall live on forever,

On through the fields of time.

For there’ll never be another to me,

Like that wonderful Mother of mine.
