Mom-Mom

"Mom-Mom is Home"

It was made clear what I didn't understand
when I stood by your side and held onto your hand
No spoken words or lengthy conversation
Just a feeling of comfort and pure inspiration

Like the hands of an artist, you created a home
And over the years, your creation has grown
Passed along through your every action
And rooted deeply in our every tradition

Home was found as powdered sugar in your purse
When we didn't feel well, you were our favorite nurse
You laid in our beds with us so we could get some rest
Your cheesecake has been voted to be the very best

Home is found in holidays and family videos
Trips to "Dis" and the Wildwood bungalo
Home is in your pixie dolls and in your gentle voice we heard
When we read your faithful birthday cards that underline every word

Home is found in late night TV and crossword puzzle books
Sunday outings and dinner at the Golden Eagle that "maybe wasn't good."
Home is in your dedication even when the times were tough
And how you took the time to touch each and every one of us

Now there is no more struggle and you are finally peaceful
Each of us continue to follow your example
And we remember in everything we do
That our home is always in you....
