In Memory of a Mother
I remember thee in this solemn hour, my dear Mother.
I remember the days when thou didst dwell on earth,
and thy tender love watched over me like a guardian angel.
Thou hast gone from me, but the bond which
unites our souls can never be severed;
thine image lives within my heart.
May the merciful Father reward thee
for the faithfulness and kindness thou hast
ever shown me; may He lift up the light of
His countenance upon thee and grant thee
eternal peace. Amen
