Dorothy, My Mom Poem by Kathryn Tyler King

What can be said about Dorothy.
She was a wife, mother and grandmother.
She always took care of our needs
whether her own kids or some others.

I remember her warmth, her love,
her smiles and her laughter
and knowing her Lord up above
brought joy to the ceiling rafters.

She loved everyone and we loved her,
a mom we could go to always
with her enthusiasm she’d not deter
teaching the Word all of her days.

Dorothy was kind and gracious.
She felt the needs of her entire family.
She taught that life was precious
And that we should love our enemies.

On the mission field children knew
they could trust her and believe
in Jesus the Lord her Savior too.
If only they’d accept and receive.

Her husband has lost his best friend.
But Jesus will be there for him.
Her life will continue and not end
with Jesus she’s now in heaven.

Her life is a wonderful testimony
of God’s love, patience and persistence.
She gave her life to the Lord freely.
Her crown must have such brilliance.

If there was anything she’d want to say
to those that didn’t really know her
was that Jesus loves you this day
and saved you to Him be praised forever.
