" My Mother, My All... A Tribute to You, Mama "
" How Great the Debt I Owe "
by Kelly Kirkpatrick
The beauty radiant in her face, the
lovelight in her eyes ~
the solace found in her embrace;
her ways so pure and wise.
Wisdom of deep insight born and woven
through her soul;
her guidance tainted not by scorn
makes the rent heart whole.
Memories and lessons taught; cherished
moments shared ~
these my Mother's hands have wrought
as for us each she cared.
Lives influenced well and healed,
made better for the touch;
such is the power her love wields
~ and many gain so much...
by virtue of her drawing near and
her example set ~
heartaches soothed, the way made
clear, all needs and hungers met.
Whatever goodness dwells in me; all
righteous deeds achieved,
all the best that I can be are legacies
she leaves.
How blessed I am by God above ~ how
great the debt I owe
to have to cherish Mother's love
wherever I may go...
a love transcending bonds of earth
into the Life Beyond;
breathing life into my birth and
past the final dawn.
Hear pledged from deep within my
soul, beloved Mother, mine,
this daughter's vow of love untold,
immortal for all time.
Know that now and evermore our two
hearts beat as one ~
accept my lasting gratitude for all
that you have done.
For from you comes the precious gift
of life itself and more;
your ways inspire and uplift ~ and
many hearts restore.
If when God calls me back to Him
in His Realm far beyond,
it can be said as earthlight dims
that my life mirrored Mom's...
no greater homage can be paid ~ no
higher value lent
than furthering the part she's played
in countless lives well spent
And I shall go to God above with
these words first to say;
" Thank You for my Mother's love
and every golden day...
that I was honored ~ humbled ~ blessed
~ to call her and no other,
~ Beloved, Precious, First, and Best ~ my wondrous, treasured Mother."
~ Dedicated with all the love a
heart can hold to Mrs. Sally Ogden...
My mother, my wisest of mentors,
~ and my unequivocable, unsurpassed heroine for all time.
Your loving Kelly ~ February 14,
2001
"We are never apart ~ God created us, one from the other."
~ Written by my precious Mother on the occasion of my Confirmation into the Lutheran Church...
and forever cherished deep within a daughter's loving heart

"Who can say where the road goes ~
where the day flows ~
Only time.
And who can say if your love grows,
as your heart chose?
Only time.
( musical interlude )
Who can
say why your heart sighs
as your life flies?
Only time.
And who can say why your heart cries
when your love dies?
Only time.
( musical interlude )
Who can say when the roads meet,
that love might be
in your heart?
And who can say when the day sleeps,
if the night keeps
all your heart?
~ Night keeps all your heart...
( long musical interlude )
Who can say if your love grows,
as your heart chose?
Only time.
And who can say where the road goes...
where the day flows?
Only time.
Who knows? Only time...
Who knows?
Only time.
Thank you so much for visiting ~ turn out the lights when you leave...
