You held life in the palm of your hand.

You always put your cold toes in the warm sand.

You always listened when I needed to talk.

You were there when I was born & the first time I walked.

You held my hand when I was scared, and said that you would always be there.

You taught me how to love with my heart and not my mind.

When you hugged me I knew everything was going to be fine.

You taught me to love everyone good and bad.

You always knew what to say when I was sad.

When I got hurt I was glad

because I knew I always had you to comfort me.

Now you are gone to live eternally.

With no pain, hunger, or sadness.

Which fills my heart with gladness.

Because I know that everything you've done for me,

God Almighty is now doing for you.

So live happy, love heart-filled.

For now all the love you brought to the earth in the palm your hand is now being fulfilled....I love you Mammy
