We will miss you Mommy. RIP with your Lord and Savior.The sky is clear the wind is warm, its gently blowing through the trees. The rustle of the leaves are soft to hear, when the wind blows through the trees. The silence of the gentle breeze is welcomed with joy and ease, If you listen hard, you can hear them sing with each passing breeze.Written by Gloria Razo Valdez
