Born
a child of promise
In
a family of the same
And
when her life was over
The
world would know her name
Her
life was never easy
Life’s
doors were never opened wide
But
that did not discourage her
She
could not be denied
Challenge
after challenge
Life
would throw within her way
But
no matter what the challenge
She’d
stand to face another day
So
many doubts, so many fears
Scattered
all along her trail
They
never ever stopped her
No
matter what she would prevail
And
when there was a job to do
A
cause where hope was lost
She’d
be the standard-bearer
No
matter what the cost
In
seizing opportunity
High
achievement made her day
Where
others wouldn’t venture
No
matter what she’d find a way
She’d
travel here; she’d travel there
World
citizen she’d say
When
her body wasn’t willing
She’d
travel anyway
A
mother first and foremost
Devoted
to her family
A
champion of children
No
matter what she’d always be
A
source of inspiration
She
was and will forever be
A
life always lived fully
That
is her legacy
No
matter what
No
matter what
No matter what
