OUR MOTHER

June 25 she came into this world,
A cute little baby girl
A little sister for Jenny
That she would cherish like a bright new penny
To the lake and work she would go
Thru rain, sunshine or snow
But her face was always aglow
At 16 she would meet the man of her life
And at 17 Lou said she would make a good wife
Three kids she did have
1 girl, 2 boys all in good health
She raised all to have some wealth
Then she would travel south
To the trailer park to stay
Sometimes till the 1st of May
Crafts and sewing were her pastime
But she was always making a dime
So at this time
A life that was so good and fine
We shall raise a glass of wine
To our mother just fine
As we all call her mine
Mom's last words
"What was meant to be, was meant to be."

All our Love
Dorothy, Dennis, VernMemorials
