POEM: To a Friend

I lost a friend
who was more than a friend
who was just like a mother
and who was there when there was no mother around
This friend was jovial
and so cordial
and so full of energy
that she was loved by all who she'd meet
she had a platinum smile
and a golden heart
it warms my soul
when she comes to my thoughts
her encouraging words
and engaging personality
she never let anyone down
or judged them with scrutiny
she opened her home
to one and all
because she hated to see
little children fall
she did not always had it easy
and she worked mighty hard
she was always willing to help others
and she was glad to praise her Lord
while we are trying to gather or feelings
wondering about this hard blow
we'll have to leave it to father Jesus
because he's the only one who
can keep this flow
