From day one she loved to score
She'd only stop to help her dad with a chore
She'd play with her sister or the neighbor boys
But playing sports was only one of her many joys
To her paying rather than earning was just plain crazy
So she forgot college but not 'cause she was lazy
She put all she had into starting a business
And her ratio of success was more to less
Four daughters soon came along
& she coached and taught them right from wrong
She loved those girls from the start
Although she wasn't great at expressing it from her heart
A disease was found but she didn't care
She knew how much she could bare
The cancer was growing so she decided to attack
But in the end God wanted her back
Her sickness didn't define her worth
It was the things she accomplished from beyond her day of birth
In case I ever go astray
I need not worry because I have an angel watching over me today
