a mother so rare! 2015
our mother was born the oldest girl of six children
she had a good up bringing growing up way back when
she went against how society though women should live
didnt get married like her family told her they believe
society back then had thought women needed a man
but my mom knew diffrent and wanted to prove she can
so mom blazed the trail for other women back then
and went against the grain and proved she didnt need a man
she wanted to make her own way and blaze her own trail
before she settled down and gave herself to a male
Audrey was the name of our mothers good friend
they found jobs together best friends till the end
but found out they got paid a lot less than the men
so one day she and Audrey were angry and they
marched into there bosses office and had there say
we proved we could do the work of the guys
we wont work untill we get equal pay every day
thats when all the women in the shop got a raise
thanks to Audrey and mom's determened ways
mom loved bowling a was part of a great team
they wont many trophys they were very good it did seam
when mom met our dad she was ready to settle down
she was 36 years old when they got married in town
not married a year when mom got pregnant with her first
the baby didnt make it but mom didnt think the worst
and never gave up and was rewarded you see
mom took good care of her family especialy us three
she loved us all equal and took us under her wings
she always sacraficed her wants if we needed some things
growing up with two parents who loved with there hearts
gave us kids the good sence to be kind and be smart
we grew up with a mom who never complained not one bit
to us she was as powerful and as loving as a woman could get
mom was a strong and indapendant woman who loved life so much
she was a very carring person and a true gift from above
and to us it's a blessing to have been born to there love
our mother was the strongest woman we've ever known
and the day that she died we got a call on the phone
this news that us kids got was something we couldn't bare
but we will never forget that we had a mother so rare
