Mother, you have joined the angels now,
Left your withered flesh, your faltered step,
The useless arm, the tongue that no longer spoke for you.
In our hearts and minds you are restored
You stand and walk, your voice is clear.
We recollect the love you gave, the force you were,
the strength we have derived from you,
Rest now in Gods love and peace.
