Caliber means intelligence.
Mom was always a most intelligent lady.
Never having finished grade school, Mom was the most educated lady I knew.
Why?
Because Mom taught herself to be smart and ever intelligent.
Mom was never dumb though I one time said she was out of ignorance.
Mom forgave me of the wrong I had done and our love continued.
Mom remains to be high caliber today though she is no longer present.
She is perfect today as well as all the other saints who have preceded her and followed her.
The Lord be praised for giving me the mother I had.
No one loved me greater than she.
Dad's love as genuine as it was couldn't come close to touching Mom's love.
I call you Blessed today; Mom, for you have earned the title.
Be proud of the work I am doing and take joy; in what you may read.
