PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Known for your tempestuous ire,

Ablaze with a passionate fire,

Your indomitable spirit is your legacy,

Upheld by all your family,

Challenging us to reach higher than we dared,

Through it all, you always cared,

Always looking ahead in each path you chose.

What a woman you are, my Mother, my Rose.





Your thorns were sharp, through the heart it could pierce,

But the love you bestowed was just as deep and as fierce.

You ruled with an ironclad glove,

So hotly fueled by the power of love.

I will always think of you with deep admiration

For your wisdom, your strength, and your dedication,

Forever grateful for your inspiration

To be passed down surely generation to generation.



You live in all of us that felt your touch.

We all love you so very much.

Even as the tears of farewell start,

Know that you will always remain in my heart.

Thank you so much for all that you did,

For the foresight and devotion, each day that you lived.

Rest peacefully, Mother, in final repose.

My wild and beautiful Irish Rose.

I love you, Mom
