She was a warm hand,A knowing nod,An honest smile.She was a mother, a wife, a sisterA friend. She was a warm hand when yours was cold.She was a knowing nod when you needed one.She was an honest smile and contagious laughter,That only made you laugh harder. She was a warm hand,A knowing nod,An honest smile.She was a mother, a wife, a sisterA friend. She reminded you of what was right,To sit up straight and eat your vitamins,To study hard and be open to new things.And even if you had heard it all before,You listened still. She was a warm hand, and she was the rock of the family.She was a knowing nod,And she was courage through war and sacrifice.She was an honest smile,And she was always there. Her love was more than words,It showed in how she lived.Her mind was made of steel,Unwavering, disciplined,She remembered your birthday,Every year.She loved with her hands, her nod,Her smile and her heart.Penned, with love, by Justine & Chris Lee
