Our Mama Written by daughter Lisa Bailey Flying with the angels Her time on earth is through, Aloft with wings of silver Her body all anew. Lives touched by hands Worn frail and thin Smell of peppermint like spice, The love she showed in her own way The way she sacrificed. The silver lining of every cloud She always seemed to see, Formed by the dust-off angels’ wings Whom she was meant to be. Forever Loved.
