Text:

When I think of my childhood and all it did bring,

what I remember most is that you always would sing.

Through the good and the bad, the happy and sad,

no matter what happened you always did sing.

There were times I know it was hard for you.

There were many things that you had to go through.

I’m sure there were times when your strength was all gone,

and you felt it impossible for you to go on.

Yet somehow within you there was always a song 

that renewed your faith and helped you be strong.

I learned that no matter what life might bring,

it would all be okay if we could still sing. 

I think of the journey you have valiantly fought

and all of the lessons that to me you taught.

You taught me to have faith in my Savior above;

you have shown me how to truly love.

You have blessed so many lives; you have touched our hearts.

Many tears will be shed when from us you depart.

Now your journey soon must come to an end,

oh how I will miss you, my dear mother, and friend.

Yet my life will go on, more challenges to bring,

but I’ll be okay, because you taught me to sing.

Oh what joy you will feel as you look on his face,

and kneel at his feet in that glorious place.

As you bask in his light he will say to thee,

“My Daughter, your life has been pleasing to me.

You kept the faith, you fought a good fight,

now take my hand and enter into the light.

Then joining his angels your voice will ring,

as to him your praises you bring.

For in that great place, throughout eternity,

with Heavenly choirs you will still sing.
