"NO WORDS" Oh Mama, what can I say…What should I write? The paper in my hand keeps shaking, I keep holding my pen too tight. How can I put into words, just how much you meant to me? Saying goodbye to you, is way more harder than you think. Ma, how much love can a person give, before their heart explodes? You mean so much to so many people, extraordinary woman of gold.
Home Going Celebration for
Clarestine King Godwin "Boots"
I love you and I miss you, what should I write, what should I say? They haven't created the right words to use, I can't imagine the right phrase. I told myself that I wouldn't cry, I cried all night when you left. I know you're in a better place, but I feel I'm all by myself. I wasn't ready for you to leave, I prayed so hard for you to stay I know deep in my soul, you've gone on to a better place. I'll always remember you, I'll never forget your smile. I'll never forget the way you cared, And I'll always remember your style. You were a phenomenal woman, Humble in every way. You were so amazingly kind, You'll be in my heart always. ~Suelestine Godwin~
