Tribute to Mom

By Dave Thompson, Kenai

In times gone by, as yesterday

My thoughts recalling what they may.

The times of plenty and of few,

And the dearest soul I ever knew.

Oh mom, you’ve made it all worth while,

From tone of voice to friendly smile.

You’ve labored and toiled to see me through

Those childhood years that I once knew.

Now it seems so very strange

I thought those times would never change.

But I grew up and you grew old

Now I see what you have told.

Your tenderness and love for me

Was never wasted needlessly.

For I hold my heart in debt to you

To grant my love our whole life through.

A love so strong that all may see

I love you mom, till eternity.

God knows he could never grant another

More gracious soul than my dear mother.
