She Did It Right

A life full of dreams and visions of good
She thought of us all, whenever she could
Full of vigor and vim, she was our light
From the beginning, she did it right

Putting us first, as good mothers do
She made time for us all and for you too
With all of life's problems to stop you on site
Unselfishly always, she did it right

When it came time for the road to get tough
She led with courage and a huff and a puff
She seized the moment with unusual might
With a brave face, she did it right

It is often so easy to follow the crowd
To stomp and complain and scream out loud
Instead of leading and risking and taking the fight
She led by example, she did it right

I sometimes believe you pay for your sins
Doing it over from the losses and wins
But in my heart and with all of my might
I am trying to learn how, she did it right

So as she arrives at that holy place
And they choose the ones with special grace
They will let her step lively into the kingdom of light
Because from the beginning, she did it right
