She Made Life Worth Living
She made life worth living, filling life with fun;
Getting twin brothers to watch when she was only one;
Though they got most of the attention, victory she found;
Learning through the conflicts that ambition could abound;
Though she had a battle when both twins picked on her.
She was an overcomer and goodwill to others she could transfer.
Living with a large family was her challenge, life to improve;
Developing traits and talents which no one could disapprove;
Yet, one thing she learned she could not do as a young bride,
Cutting up a chicken was too much though she tried.
Her marriage with Howard resulted in six bundles of pride;
Three sons and three daughters for her to support and guide;
Making clothes and costumes for each child, careful with each stitch;
But when correcting was needed, she quickly found a switch;
Until the day the chase was interrupted by the family dog;
Then the action moved inside with a different dialogue;
She was always supportive in school and sports events;
Being an encourager and her pride was truly evidenced.
She made life worth living with garden, crafts and cheer;
Always thinking of others, presenting gifts with love sincere;
Providing canned food in abundance and even hominy and ketchup made;
Making quilts and stuffed animals and still time for lemonade;
Though she had eleven brothers and sisters with children of their own;
And family reunions could easily create one big disaster zone;
Yet all nieces and nephews always had a welcome in her home;
Included in those special ones were the nieces and nephews of her spouse;
All were part of the excitement of the games and water fights;
Each child being important, receiving ice cream or other delights;
She enjoyed playing '42' in dominoes with family and friends;
Spicing life with competition and good humor with colorful blends.
She made life worth living even in her days of gloom;
Being gracious and kind to those entering her room;
Thankful for special phone calls, giving some light;
Praising Sarah, Melva and all who came day or night.
She made life worth living, sharing the joys of the Lord;
Teaching those who lived around her to live by God's Holy Word;
So, sorrow not as those who have no hope in view,
For her faith was in God and has eternal life anew.
