Mum Russell Has Graduated



Hey there family!
Biological and otherwise,
Mum Russell signed out today,
Yes, I mean her demise.

Just about four this morning
When most were asleep
She said goodbye, world
So to speak.

We went to the home
My sister and I,
Accompanied by my wife...
No need to sigh.

There we saw her lying
A smile on her face,
There were less wrinkles too
Just a little trace.

I pinched her hand
Yes, I wanted to be sure
That she had really left us,
She had closed the door.

She signalled us for a while,
She wanted us to understand
That everything concerning her
Was according to God's plan.

 

Unlike her husband 
Who left in a hurry,
 She was far kinder to us
So this is less of a worry.

She batted very well
To the glory of God,
So for all of you reading this 
Please spread that abroad.

I will sign off now,
This was just to let you know
Mum Russell has graduated,
Resplendent was her glow.
