Legacy of Love
Maw Toe, was a wife, a mother, a grandmaw too.
This is the Legacy we have from you.
You taught us love and how to fish,
You gave us strength, you gave us might.
A stronger person would be hard to find,
And in your heart, you were always kind.
You fought for us all in one way or another,
Not just as a wife, not just as a mother.
For all us you gave your best.
Now the time has come for you to rest.
So go in peace Maw Toe, your love in our hearts,
we’ll eternally keep.
God blessed us with a great grandmaw.
