Today,
Me mam passed away.
Our sacred family flame
That burned so bright
Shall dance and flicker no more.
She was our life's joy.
She made us laugh.
She made us strong
She made us weep.
She melted the hearts of all she'd meet.
Her singing voice was magical,
Sweeter than a nightingale's.
I thought I'd never heard an angel sing
How wrong I've been for she was one.
We are gathered here shedding tears.
We all weep for her but do not despair.
For these are tears of joy
That she left behind for us all to share.
May God bless and keep her safe,
For he has called her home
To take her rightful place
In the Irish angels choir.
