She Was ... MY MOTHER
A woman I once Knew ..
(TRUE but a song written as sung)

She was the best of the best
And the worst of the worst~
She traveled all over
And quenched every thirst~

When somethen was over
She d move on agen~
And only return
When and if she got the yen~

She d say what she thought
And no matter to whom~
One could never miss her
Even in a crowded room~

She d do as she pleased
And no matter what~
She was always herself
If they liked it or not~

Full of surprises
And one could never guess~
What wonderful things
She d make out of a mess~

When one thought they had her
They never had her at all~
Come rain or come shine
She always had a ball~

She lived her life to the limit
Come day or come night~
And when she made a statement
She was usually right~

She could dance she could love
She could see in the dark~
One vibrant woman
Who was always a spark~

She left no stone unturned
Missed nothen at all~
No matter who ever downed her
She always stood tall~

Everyone loved her so
And they hated her too~
That was everyone she met
And that was more than a few~

She spread so much laughter
And thrived on pure hell~
Nobody ever forgot her
They all knew her too well~

She could take anything on
And just as easy throw it away~
And go on regardless and
Live well another day~

She was all that she said she was
So she d say with pride~
She could welcome you home
And just as easy cast you aside~

There was more to this woman
Than anyone ever knew~
She could tell you a lie
And prove it was true~

She d play out a fantasy
And make it become real~
She had her own charisma
Never ever hid how she'd feel~

She could sing like an angel
And then steal your heart~
and once she had gotten it
She d rip it apart~

Nobody ever owned her
She was her own soul~
She could act like a child
Or a woman so very old~

In her life she lived several lifetimes
And lived them all well~
She had her own brand of religion
And rang her own bell~

Everyone that knew her
They never ever knew why~
She could make so very happy
And then give you reason to cry~

( BUT I LOVED HER )
