McSWAIN BOILING SPRINGS-James IN MEMORY OF MY MOTHER Mother has gone from this earth here below, She's happy in Heaven with Jesus I know. She's walking with Him on that beautiful shore. Now she can Walk she can Hear, she's not Blind anymore. She had a long life, she made lots of friends, She cherished the memories of all of her kin. She has lots of loved ones who've gone on before, Now she can rejoice with them for ever more. We love her and miss her, but we must let her go, For she was never happy down here below. She had lots of worries and heartaches but now she's free, She's waiting in Heaven for you and for me.
