OUR INSPIRATION

This poem was written for a family photo quilt I made for my great grandmothers 90th birthday. I do need to give a little recognition to my mother Lisa Frost for the first few lines! 

                                                              OUR INSPIRATION

Dear Francis to you, these words are from our hearts

to tell you we love you and thank God for your part.

The role that you have played in each of our lives

be it friend, sister, mother, mamaw or wife.

You are the meaning of strength at it’s highest peak

You have courage when the rest of us are weak.

You have no idea about the effect you have made

and with the lessons we’ve learned, how our lives have changed.

You inspire us so much to live for the now

and to never give up because you don’t know how.

When the road gets rocky, you seem to take each bump

and walk over them smoothly, hump after hump.

You’ve helped us, not just to change, but also to grow

from immature children to the great adults we know.

God made a wonderful woman who’s love never grows old.

You have a smile made of sunshine and a heart of pure gold.

Thank you for all the things that you have ever done

                                                        that made this family strong, and work well as one!
