Memorial verses for a mother

You can only have one mother,Patient, kind and true;No other friend in all the worldWill be the same to you.When other friends forsake you,To mother you will return,For all her loving kindness,She asks nothing in return.· · ·

Gone from our home that smiling face,The happy cheerful ways,The heart that won so many friendsIn bygone happy days.In dreams we see her smiling face,And kiss her tender brow,But in our aching hearts we know,We have no mother now.· · ·

We sat beside your bedside,Our hearts were crushed and sore;We did our duty to the end,’Til we could do no more.In tears we watched you sinking,We watched you fade away;And though our hearts were breaking,We knew you could not stay.· · ·

Softly in the morning,You heard a gentle call,You took the hand God offered you,And quietly left us all.The day you left us, mother,Our hearts just broke in two,The smallest part is still with us,And the biggest part with you.· · ·

We miss your smile, your joking ways,We miss the things you used to say,And when the old times we do recall,It’s then we miss you most of all.

Hail, Holy Queen

Hail, Holy Queen, Mother of Mercy,our life, our sweetness and our hope.To thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve;to thee do we send up our sighs,mourning and weeping in this valley of tears.Turn then, most gracious advocate,thine eyes of mercy toward us,and after this our exile· · ·

A Rosary For You

Each bead we pass between our handsIs a prayer we say for you;Each mystery a memoryOf all the love we knew.Our Lady, keep you in her careTill we are with you there.

A Mother’s Love

A mother’s love is like a lightThat never fades away;It warmed us through our childhood yearsAnd guides us still today.

Mam

We had a mother, kind and true,No better in this world we knew;Her hands so busy, heart so warm,Our shelter through each passing storm.

Our Lady’s Care

Into Our Lady’s gentle careWe give our mother now;May Mary hold her close in HeavenAnd smooth her tired brow.

Her Kitchen

Her kitchen was the heart of home,The kettle always on;And though the house is quiet now,Her love is never gone.

Thank You, Mam

Thank you for the times you listened,Thank you for the times you cared,Thank you for the prayers you whispered,And the life that we all shared.Thank you for your patient kindness,For the strength that saw us through;Mam, there’s not a day that passesThat we do not think of you.

A mother is someoneyou can never replace;a love that timecan never erase.

Her hands held us,her heart loved us,her prayers kept us.

A mother, a daughter,a sister, a friend —a love that has no end.

Beloved wife,devoted mother,treasured always.
