Mother of eight
Mother figure to many more
A slave to the stove
But always an open door
Samaritan heart
Unshakable Christian faith
What a beautiful example
Of the human race
I saw you smile
As you held my child
I will treasure it forevermore
The same old smile
We were deprived of
Stolen by a cruel disease
Your family
Grows like a tree
All these roots go deep into the earth
Into our hearts
Your legacy goes on
Sister of six
But a sister to many more
You helped the poor
You helped everyone you could
With open arms
You gave everything you could
