You are my Lily of the Valley                                                                                          
You served me so well
Your lovingkindness touch and approach
Was like precious jewels in a brooch
Worn for all to see the beauty you have
Reflected in me

Lilian Sweet Lilian

You gave so much to everyone
You gave your love your warmth
You gave your time even though you were swamped
You did not mind standing in line
To teach those you loved and served
Bringing with you loads of fun
Asking for nothing in return

Lilian Sweet Lilian

Not even a pair of gloves
To warm your kind caring hands sent from above
You were certainly a beautiful dove
We gave you all the love and respect
You so deserved!
You were a special beacon
Shining your light so that none were weakened

Lilian Sweet Lilian

Thank you for your listening ears
The books to read the clothes to wear
The gatherings in your home so warm
Which reflected all your familiar charm
You welcomed us with open arms
Your grace your elegance your smile so fair
You wrapped us in your loving share

Lilian Sweet Lilian

You armed us with tools of learning
And made us think about the salaries
We could be earning
You are so dear to our hearts
You made us smart
And gave us that much needed wonderful start

Lilian Sweet Lilian

Lilian Sweet Lilian you ARE my second
Mother - that's clear!
Lilian Sweet Lilian
Thank you for the times you cared!
Thank you for the lovingcare!
Lilian Sweet Lilian you are my
Lily of the Valley
Thank you for your family!
I palpitate my circles of light and love
to embrace and engulf you true!

Lilian Sweet Sweet Lilian!
