IN HER MEMORY I TELL TO YOU
A MOTHERS LOSS TOO HARD TO BARE
TO LOSE A CHILD IS HARD TO DO
BUT TO LOSE FIVES BEYOND COMPARE

SHE HAD FIVE BOYS BEFORE I CAME
FOR ONE THERE WAS NO HOPE
ANOTHER ONE WAS WITH HIS DAD
FOR TWO A DIFFRENT FATE

FOSTER CARE WAS THE ONLY WAY
TO SEE THAT THEY COULD EAT
TO HAVE PLACE TO LAY THEIR HEADS
SHE WAS TOLD THAT SHE COULD HAVE THEM BACK
WHEN SHE REGAINED HER FEET

THE FIFTH ONE WAS HER SECRET
NO ONE KNEW AT ALL
ALONE AND SCARED SHE SIGNED THE PAPERS
AND SAID A HEARTFELT PRAYER

SHE REMARRIED AND HAD THREE MORE
TWO GIRLS AND ONE MORE SON
THEN CAME THE NEWS SHE'D HAVE NO MORE
HER TEARS BEGAN TO RUN

SHE TRIED TO FIND THE OTHER TWO
HER EFFORTS WERE IN VAIN
THE RECORDS LOST IN A FIRE
SHE KNEW A TERRIBLE PAIN

BEFORE SHE DIED TWO CAME BACK
SHE CRIED THANKS UNTO HER LORD
THE ONE SHE SIGNED THE PAPERS FOR
AND THE ONE WHO WAS WITH HIS DAD

FOR FIFTY YEARS SHE HELD THE SECRET
THE PAIN AND ANGUISH HERS
IT ALL POURED OUT IN TEARFUL WORDS
FOR ALL HER CHILDRENS EARS

THERE'S STILL TWO MORE OUT THERE
THEY HAVE YET TO BE FOUND
IT'S A SHAME THEY DIDN'T KNOW HER
A STRONGER WOMAN I'VE NEVER KNOWN.

My first husband's great-grandmother was married to a Henry Coyle, but he was about 70+ y/o in 1972. Wonder if any relation, tho???
