I am thinking of my mom today given the fact that this is the 14th anniversary of her demise. I am not surprised that she passed away on the 4th of July, that was her least favorite holiday.The loud sounds of the fireworks reminded her of all the bombs she heard, growing up.
I am not a fan of them myself either because of the loud noises also. I hope that she is looking down from heaven proud of her grandchildren and what they have become. I hope also that she is watching over all of us helping Him to keep us happy and safe. I wish the same for all of you! Happy 4th!
My momma didn't raise no chicken
My daddy didn't raise no wimp
My Savior made me in His image
Why then, have I gone limp?
My momma didn't raise no quitter
My daddy didn't raise ........no fool
We always stood up for our faith
That was the golden rule!
My momma didn't raise no show off
My daddy didn't raise no queen
We didn't care how little we had
We never strived to be seen...........
My momma didn't raise no bully
My daddy didn't raise no beast
We loved and cared for each other
Tried to be kind at least.............
Thank God for my dearest of friends
Who reminded me to refocus and see
There is no hurt that I can't overcome
As long as He lives inside me!! .......... Poetry by ME! Linda
