A MOTHER'S DAY TRIBUTE TO MY OWN MOTHER: ST. MOM



ST. MOM

You have let us down gently, Lord.
You showed us how much you care,
For the sudden death of our mother,
Would have been too much to bear.

Though we were poor, we were also rich,
For we had a saint for a mother.
We had the best You had to give,
A treasure on earth like no other.

Satan hated her lively spirit,
So he tried to make her frown.
He ruined her health and crushed her bones,
But he couldn’t take her down.

You turned on him with a vengeance, Lord;
This saint was a special case.
You then instructed your angels,
To show all her children your grace.

Now her legacy will live on and on,
Through her children, then through their own.
We’ll show the devil a thing or two,
And praise you for the love you have shown.
