You were our strength when we were weak.. You were our voice
when we couldn't speak, You were our eyes
when we couldn't see, You saw the best
there was in us, Lifted us up
when we couldn't reach;! You gave us faith
`coz you believed. W e're everything we are ^ m jt | T ^ , Because you loved us. We lost our faith, you gave it back to us, You said no star was out of reach, You stood by us and we stood tall, We had your love we had it all, W e're grateful for each day you gave us; Maybe we don't know that much, But we know this much is true-- We were blessed because we were loved by you.
We Love You, Mama, Grandma, Great Grandma
