She's Mom to Me
By Tim Rogers

One bright day in twenty-five,
Most all of us weren't yet alive.
Zeke & Nettie had a little girl,
As pretty as a precious pearl.
She grew to be a charming lass,
With lots of virtue, and loads of class.
She caught a young man's eye, at school,
Could tell right quick he'd found a jewel.
Before too long, the knot was tied.
With vows, their love was certified.
A special call by them was heard,
They gave their lives to preach the Word.
For 56 years they shared their love,
Then he was called to his home above.
Through the years, she's shown us all
How to stand up when we fall.
She lived to be age 95.
Still showing us just how to thrive.
Then 'twas her who was called above
To be rejoined with those she loved.
A virtuous woman? Yes siree.
She's always been. She's Mom to me.
