A Greater Book

Great books are created through the authors mind

But we have a greater book that some won't find

It was written by our Mother each day  she lived

Not about what can I take but about what can I give


 

It was not written for print or for her fame

Nor would she expect it to contain her name

Her mind was important and played a big part

But her book came from her loving heart


 

It  was not preplanned  nor laid out that way

It was from her actions as she lived each day

The ones who knew it are those who were near

Especially those she loved and held very dear


 

It came from the Bible and there got its start

Because she was a Christian doing her part

It was her personal edition written each day
And was available to all who passed her way


 

We are her children so we received the best

Her loving actions were, for  us, and was her bequest

We were her centerpieces for whom she lived

It was all of the love that she could give


 

We pray Lord keep her now that from us she is gone

We pray that her examples will bring us along

So Mom we all promise to do our best

That the Lord may take us when we are laid to rest
