Mothers Lyrics - How We Both Wondrously Perish - Being As An Ocean

A nine-year drought 

Brought torrents in May 

You had chosen what to call me 

But were given a new name 

Always the strong one 

You carried on in faith 

Broken mother, broken father 

It was your example that made Grace fully tangible 

Looking at your mistakes showed me what risks to take

20 Classic Christmas Lyrics to Celebrate The Holiday Season 

Working hard to make ends meet 

No matter what, please know you did well by me 

Forever humble and first to forgive 

Treating the other as family 

Never forgetting where you've been 

You showed us what it means to wholly live 

Adorned with quiet strength 

You proved that meek doesn't have to mean weak 

Learned to show Love to all, no matter title or rank 

While not your own, you've helped raise me 

And for the things you've shown me 

I could hardly offer sufficient thanks 

Even as the sickness lingers in your blood 

You've carried on in hope and Love 

And even though trouble surrounds all the while 

You've continued to greet all with a heavenly smile 

Photos 

We watched your body fade 

But until the end, your spirit shown bright 

Something that cancer could never take away 

We laid hands on and prayed 

Oh G-d, how steadfast you stayed 

How I wish I had possessed such faith 

Now we feel the weight of your absence 

And it's raised some doubt and questions 

But in memorial we'll press on 

Because, in the end, it's all you ever wanted for your sons 

That we might realize our dreams 

Live life beautifully 

To truly glean all we can from our youth 

Letting the rest of our lives stand as proof 

There is a point to all of this 

To learn to love as you
