In Loving Memory of our Beautiful Mother, Doris Cook Barger.

When we were young we used to love to sit upon your knee.

We'd gaze into your loving eyes as your arms enfolded each.

Your gentle kiss would stir the sunlit tendrils of our hair,

As whispered sentiments of love we quietly would share.

We’d read a book together, the same time after time.

We knew all of the words by heart, you didn’t seem to mind.

When darkness fell you tucked each in and gently kissed our cheek.

You’d wish upon a shooting star the Lord my soul to keep.

The years have passed so quickly, death parted you from us.

We hope you know how much it meant when we sat upon your knee.

Gazing to the heavens, as we quietly reminisce,

We'd give a million of those stars to feel your gentle kiss.

We'd give all our tomorrows to hear you read to us,

And remember those quiet moments when we sat upon your knee.

Dearly Loved and Always Missed,

Dawn, Lori, Cindy & Tim

along with Granddaughters Ashley & Heather
