"I lived, I loved.

I laughed, I cried.

I danced, I sang.

I gave, I forgave.

I was loved, I was hated.

I was a mother, I was a friend.

God was my strength, my shield.

He didn't judge me by what I wore, or how rich I was. He judges by the heart. To many I was poor, but with Jesus I had everything.

When He bid me to come I took His hand. And now I'm safely home."
