ASPECIALPERSON
There was a person in our lives
That words could not describe.
This person was so marvelous
And this we say with pride.
The special was the one
Who guided us through our lives
And gave us all the love we needed
much more than can suffice
Besides the love this person gave
Comes kindness, understanding.
And trust and these qualities of
Which we speak are definitely
A must. Now we must thank
Dear God above for sending us
No other but for blessing us
With just one life;
The life that was our mother and grandmother
Sleep on, sleep on, the Golden Gates awake you.
