In Memoriam – Ida Fergus

Ida Fergus

Sunrise: April 30, 1930
Sunset: November 23, 2005

Mother Dear, you’re still here!
In our lives you breathe; a legacy we reap
In thirteen years, until we like you sleep
You smiled; you left; you’re not gone…
Death has no power over the sun
You gloriously shine from sacred space
Our lives radiate in your sweet embrace
A marvelous garden, nurtured with prayers
We’re so grateful you anchored us through your years.

We mirror your strength, wisdom, and humour too
Your legacy feeds all that we do…
Our rock, our stay, you love us so much!
What sting can snatch your gentle touch?
Hours chased moments; a decade appear…

We cling to your love; it refutes our fear…
For cover they dash, your light so shine!
In memories so vivid! Oh love divine!
Mother Dear, you’re still here!
Lovingly remembered, and greatly missed by her children – Marlene, Elroy, Gracita and Felicia, all her grandchildren, the entire Fergus family, and many relatives and friends.
