Written in 1993 for my mom's memorial service and just rediscovered in my archives. I thought I would share it...and thought she would like me to.
Mom's name was Rose. Thus, the photo from my garden.

Lyrics
When I was just a small child,
You held me in your arms;
Rocked me and held me gently;
Sang to me quiet songs.
You were my inspiration.
You were like a tree
Giving comfort, giving strength to me.
then I was growing older.
You helped me find my way.
You guided every footstep;
Helped me to fly away.
Standing there proudly smiling,
Willing to set me free,
Giving comfort, giving strength to me.
I don't know how I'm gonna get along without you.
Don't know how I'm gonna live this way.
Don't know how I feel when I can't see you each morning.
Day won't seem the same then;
Nights will seem just a little bit colder then.
Later I watch you grow old,
Watched as your life slipped by.
You never seemed to worry.
I always wondered why.
then you were standing bravely;
Then you slipped away.
Always comfort, always strength I must say.
I don't know how I'm gonna get along without you.
Don't know how I'm gonna live this way.
Don't know how I feel when I can't see you each morning.
Day won't seem the same then;
Nights will seem just a little bit colder then.
You held me in your arms;
Rocked me and held me gently;
Sang to me quiet songs.
You were my inspiration.
You were like a tree
Giving comfort, giving strength to me.
then I was growing older.
You helped me find my way.
You guided every footstep;
Helped me to fly away.
Standing there proudly smiling,
Willing to set me free,
Giving comfort, giving strength to me.
I don't know how I'm gonna get along without you.
Don't know how I'm gonna live this way.
Don't know how I feel when I can't see you each morning.
Day won't seem the same then;
Nights will seem just a little bit colder then.
Later I watch you grow old,
Watched as your life slipped by.
You never seemed to worry.
I always wondered why.
then you were standing bravely;
Then you slipped away.
Always comfort, always strength I must say.
I don't know how I'm gonna get along without you.
Don't know how I'm gonna live this way.
Don't know how I feel when I can't see you each morning.
Day won't seem the same then;
Nights will seem just a little bit colder then.
