Mothers - Being As An Ocean

[offset:0]
[00:01.12]A nine-year drought
[00:03.88]Brought torrents in May
[00:06.46]You had chosen what to call me
[00:09.88]But were given a new name
[00:16.41]Always the strong one
[00:19.47]You carried on in faith
[00:24.42]Broken mother, broken father
[00:27.48]It was your example that made Grace fully tangible
[00:36.41]Looking at your mistakes showed me what risks to take
[00:47.25]Working hard to make ends meet
[00:53.16]No matter what, please know you did well by me
[00:59.13]Forever humble and first to forgive
[01:04.83]Treating the other as family
[01:11.92]Never forgetting where you've been
[01:17.68]You showed us what it means to wholly live
[01:23.68]Adorned with quiet strength
[01:25.36]You proved that meek doesn't have to mean weak
[01:28.39]Learned to show Love to all, no matter title or rank
[01:31.78]While not your own, you've helped raise me
[01:33.88]And for the things you've shown me
[01:35.29]I could hardly offer sufficient thanks
[01:38.02]Even as the sickness lingers in your blood
[01:40.24]You've carried on in hope and Love
[01:42.67]And even though trouble surrounds all the while
[01:45.04]You've continued to greet all with a heavenly smile
[01:47.65]We watched your body fade
[01:50.05]But until the end, your spirit shown bright
[01:52.72]Something that cancer could never take away
[01:55.18]We laid hands on and prayed
[01:56.92]Oh G-d, how steadfast you stayed
[01:59.68]How I wish I had possessed such faith
[02:02.92]Now we feel the weight of your absence
[02:04.78]And it's raised some doubt and questions
[02:07.06]But in memorial we'll press on
[02:09.55]Because, in the end, it's all you ever wanted for your sons
[02:12.97]That we might realize our dreams
[02:14.86]Live life beautifully
[02:16.63]To truly glean all we can from our youth
[02:19.48]Letting the rest of our lives stand as proof
[02:22.36]There is a point to all of this
[02:24.04]To learn to love as you
