"A gentle wind blew across the land Reaching out to take a hand.

For on the winds, the angels came Calling out a mother’s name.

Left behind, the children’s tears Loving memories of the years.

Of joy and love, a life well spent And now to God, a mother’s sent.

On Angel’s wings, a heavenly flight The journey home, towards the light.

To those who weep, a life is gone But in God’s love, ’tis but the dawn."
