Mothers-Being As An Ocean[00:00:00]

A nine-year drought[00:00:01]

Brought torrents in May[00:00:04]

You had chosen what to call me[00:00:06]

But were given a new name[00:00:09]

Always the strong one[00:00:16]

You carried on in faith[00:00:20]

Broken mother, broken father[00:00:24]

It was your example that made Grace fully tangible[00:00:27]

Looking at your mistakes showed me what risks to take[00:00:36]

Working hard to make ends meet[00:00:47]

No matter what, please know you did well by me[00:00:52]

Forever humble and first to forgive[00:00:58]

Treating the other as family[00:01:04]

Never forgetting where you've been[00:01:11]

You showed us what it means to wholly live[00:01:17]

Adorned with quiet strength[00:01:23]

You proved that meek doesn't have to mean weak[00:01:25]

Learned to show Love to all, no matter title or rank[00:01:28]

While not your own, you've helped raise me[00:01:31]

And for the things you've shown me[00:01:33]

I could hardly offer sufficient thanks[00:01:35]

Even as the sickness lingers in your blood[00:01:37]

You've carried on in hope and Love[00:01:40]

And even though trouble surrounds all the while[00:01:42]

You've continued to greet all with a heavenly smile[00:01:44]

We watched your body fade[00:01:48]

But until the end, your spirit shown bright[00:01:50]

Something that cancer could never take away[00:01:53]

We laid hands on and prayed[00:01:54]

Oh G-d, how steadfast you stayed[00:01:56]

How I wish I had possessed such faith[00:01:59]

Now we feel the weight of your absence[00:02:01]

And it's raised some doubt and questions[00:02:04]

But in memorial we'll press on[00:02:06]

Because, in the end, it's all you ever wanted for your sons[00:02:08]

That we might realize our dreams[00:02:12]

Live life beautifully[00:02:14]

To truly glean all we can from our youth[00:02:16]

Letting the rest of our lives stand as proof[00:02:19]

There is a point to all of this[00:02:20]

To learn to love as you[00:02:23]
