AcknowledgementPerhaps you sent a lovely card or sat quietly in a chair. Perhaps you sent a floral piece; if

so, we saw it there. Perhaps you prayed a sincere prayer or came to pay a call. Perhaps you sang a cheerful song; if so, we heard it all. Perhaps you spoke the kindest words, as any

friend could say. Perhaps you prepared a tasty dish, or maybe furnished a car. Perhaps you rendered a service unseen, near at hand or from afar. Whatever you did to console our

hearts, by word or deed or touch, whatever was the kindly part, we thank you, oh so very much. We just want to say thank you.

PoemIf I only had five minutesThe day you passed away

I would have had the time to tell youAll the things I needed to say.

I never got to tell you How much you mean to me,

Or that you were the best mamaBetter than any woman could be. The last time that I talked to you

I wish I would have knownI would have said, “I love you”

And kept you on the phone. If I only had five minutes

The morning you passed awayI’ d give you one last hug so tight

And see your great big smile.

I’ d kiss your cheek and take your handAnd tell you it’s okay to go

And tell you that I’ ll miss youMore than you’ ll ever know.

But you were gone so quickly,One last car ride you’d take

Before you even knew it,You were standing at Heaven’s gate.

Now God has called upon youIt’s time to get your wings

To leave this life behind youAnd enjoy all of Heaven’s beautiful things.

So wait for me in Heaven, MamaDon’t let me come alone

The day the angels come for mePlease be there to welcome me home.
