song for tura on her 100th birthday - feb 4th, 2011


mama, you are a wonder
you laugh so easily
you always look to see 
that nobody's left behind

mama, you are a picture
sittin by the fire
talkin to people i can't see
waitin at heaven's door

but mama, you're not goin there yet
we've got a little more time here with you

and while you're still here
we'll play a little dominoes 
listen to roger's sermons 
laugh at something we said

and you'll say ''my stars''
and ''land sakes''
and have a glass of cabernet
every day at 4 o'clock

mama, you are a wonder,
you laugh so easily
with people i can't see
waitin at heaven's door

but mama, you're not goin there yet
we've got a little more time here with you.

Oh Duck! This is lovely--and so is your mother! Blessings to her...I'll raise a glass in her honor tonight.

Cheers,
