Oh Mother, mine, <br /> Beside your grave I reminisce and pine <br /> For happy days that I once knew <br /> Until the day you passed away. <br /> <br /> Full of patience and so good, <br /> You were the example of motherhood; <br /> Endowed with God's gift of love, <br /> You imparted it to all of us. <br /> <br /> Also the sweetest, dearest Mother <br /> To my sisters and my brother, <br /> You brought laughter to our hearts <br /> And sunshine into our home. <br /> <br /> Oh Mother, mine, <br /> Upon my knees <br /> I join my hands and pray <br /> That you may rest in peace.<br /><br />Irene Therese Xavier<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/oh-mother-mine/
