She was born in Kyle, Texas
In a family of nine girls and four boys;
At the start of the Great Depression with all it’s woe,
When times were very hard you see
But I thank the Lord for her coming to be.
Growing up she learned to do all the chores and more
Tending to farm animals on a ranch in Texas.
With her brothers, and especially her sisters, she had much rapport;
They all worked hard and formed a special bond
That no one could break;
and made life living for.
This beautiful young lady
Would soon marry and had one boy and a very special girl;
She raised her kids alone the best way she could
Taught them to be good, moral and right;
Their mother, this very special lady who is their guiding light.
In her eighties now and still strong;
Nothing can stop her, so righteous, and very strong willed;
Now recalling all the great things she’s done for her family.
I’m quite blessed, for she is the mother of the love of my life, don’t you see,
That’s the reason that I thank the Lord for her coming to be.
