She Is A Hard Act To Follow

She Is A Hard Act To Follow
Grace
Goodness
Sacred
Sacrifice
All mixed up in a package 
Nurturing
Encouraging
Fair
A hard act to follow 
Huge shoes to fill
This woman I speak of
The epitome of good will
Never unkind 
Faultless and pure
A woman of substance
Love incarnated for sure
Someone to look up to
Someone to care
Someone to hold you
She will always be there
She fights for the children 
She stands up for the poor
Doing her best
For her I'm in awe
No lines of distinction 
No judgment displayed
No one can love more
Than her in a day
If there are models to follow
If there are paths we must tread
There are none as worthy
From her love to be led
So look for new leaders
In mothers and kin
Follow examples
Pure gold within
I am truly grateful 
I am truly blessed
For this woman on purpose
Is the very best
Loving and kind
Compassion so wide
A hard act to follow
But I shall surely try
