The Loss of a Matron
I have lost my mother, I knew I one day would,
She died just like
she lived: courageous and assured,
I’m not selfish enough to want her to linger here in agony,
I know she has a place of peace that one day I will see,
She, at 91, had lived a full and caring life,
For 73 years, she was my father’s wife,
She was a successful businesswoman, far surpassing her education,
She had moxie that
spurred her diehard determination,
She was a hard worker, like no one I have ever seen,
Her energy was contagious, if you know just what I mean,
She was a people person and could read the room quite well,
I loved how much she laughed and the stories she could tell,
She led by example and made her expectations known,
Kind but stern; there was confidence in her tone,
She was always resilient, enduring many of life’s trials,
Her positivity was admirable, giving away her joyous smiles,
As Mother’s Day approaches, a large void will be there,
Our first one without her, and painful hearts we will
share,
But I’m happy for my mother to be resting peacefully in
glory,
We are all proud of her and her amazing life story.
