Mamaw
Mamaw, I wonder where you keep your wings.
Are they hung in your closet with the rest of your things?
Do you put them away and just use them at night or give them to someone special
to polish up bright?
I know you have wings,
for this must be true,
'cause God always gives them to Angels just like you.
All the things you used to do
Cooking dinner on Sunday
No one else can cook like you
Sitting for hours
Telling us tales
Working in your garden
Pulling all the weeds
Wiping sweat from your brow
And gently planting seeds
You are a special Grandma
One that we adore
You taught us right from wrong
And so very much more.
Mamaw I remember
When you would sing a song
You would encourage
Us all to sing along
And you would sit and rock
And with your switch
give us some "tea"
I can still see it
As you held it in your hands
Well worn from all the stripes it made
While you taught us of God's plans
Mamaw, I remember
Don't worry about me
You taught us all so well
Years ago upon your knee.
God gave us an angel right here on earth,
You taught us our values and gave us self worth,
You've guided us through life with your wisdom, God's light,
You've steered us from wrong, and lead us toward right.
You've stood by our sides when things were rough,
You taught us in bad times we need to be tough.
You are there when we need you throughout all our years,
You've laughed with us in happy times, and comforted our tears.
Our angel on earth was sent from above,
God paid you not in wages, but with eternal love.
You have been our confidante, our rock, our protector,
We owe so much to you.
And when God says your job is through, I know we won't forget you.
You need not a halo, you've already got your
silken wings of grace,
And the glory of God's love shines upon your beautiful face.
Our Guardian angel, can never be replaced at all,
You are God's gift to us - We love you Mamaw
