Legacy of Love
Wife, mother, grandmother too,
This is the legacy we received from you.
You taught us how to love and fight
You gave us strength, you gave us strength.
It's hard to find a stronger person
And in your soul you have always been kind.
You fought for us all one way or another,
Not only as a wife, not only as a mother.
For all of us you did your best
Now it's time for you to rest.
So go in peace, you deserve your sleep
We will keep your love in our hearts forever.
