IN PASSINGSometimes Mom in passingWould pat you on the backAnd sometimes in passingShe’d show you the right track.Sometimes Mom in passingWould say, “You sure look nice!”And sometimes in passingShe could, make you, think twice.Sometimes Mom in passingWould lightly touch your hairAnd sometimes in passingShe’d show you what was fair.Sometimes Mom in passingWould ask, “What do you mean?”And sometimes in passingShe would get in between.Sometimes Mom in passingWould give you, “that look”And sometimes in passingWould give you what it took.But this time, Mom is passingFrom this world to the bestAnd this time in passingShe’ll pass the final test.And when Mom has passedAnd the pain is so unkindJust look and you’ll find herThere in your heart and mind.Submitted By: Del “Abe” Jones
