I remember, still remember br Though she's lately gone ahead; br They still linger, always linger br Precious words my momma said. br br Oft, she spoke of patience, virtue, br Peace and joy gained by giving; br She felt love, compassion, kindness br Paved the pathways of our living. br br Her words were inspiration br When beset with storms and strife br And her poise and deep contentment, br Became the guideline for my life. br br She led me through the darkest br To pursue a better day br And if those paths became too rough, br She would simply kneel and pray. br br I'll remember, long remember br Till I take my final bed; br Words of beauty, words of wisdom, br Words my dear, sweet momma said.
