Mother

You passed the brink, crossed heaven's stair, Oh Mother, Mother! Meet me there! For nigh ten years are in between Since your face was earthbound seen Memories wake, such deep despair... But Mother, Mother, meet me there For sweet the promise, deep the Palm My scars are His, He wields the balm Dries tears, those tears were mine to hide Poured from the spear wound in His side You sought Him, thought Him, Savior Dear And now you're with Him, He is here He'll mend the broken, Heal the pain And lift us up to life again My heart was shattered, but God's grace shared And others wounded, have sore worse fared Much deeper wounds, than ever I Who sought your love, and lullaby But Mother still, a faith we share Oh Mother, Mother! Meet me there!

Blessings to you too Anisha, thank you for your visit and comment. I know we share an understanding of the love and pain... and the blessings of others who contributed to our nurturing as children, I still remember a poem you shared on Mother's Day and a brief discussion we had, so I really appreciate your visit and comment. I hope you are having a good weekend and that you are blessed <3

Your love for your mom is shown and felt here BJ. We will see our loving parents some day in heaven, that will be a special day and our Dear Jesus who is the reason we are there. A favorite reminds me of my mom and dad... Thanks for the inspiration to look forward too...

Yes, I loved her. She was a bit difficult in life sometimes, a beautiful rose, and she did have thorns too! But I believe that all the rough edges will be smoothed away, and we can really look forward to joyful times minus the rough stuff our relationship suffered sometimes in this realm. I miss taking her on vacation and visiting her home. Christmas isn't the same without my mom. The Holidays are approaching and leave me with an ache in my heart already. I miss shopping for her gifts, driving over to her house on Christmas Eve, playing the part of Santa and delivering her presents, and visiting with her. She loved the Holidays so much. We have so much hope in our eternal destiny, and she was a believer. She was a tad bit spoiled, with six kids and twenty-four grandkids + great grandkids to spoil her :) Life is not the same without her. Thank you for your visit and uplifting comment Michael :)

A mothere's love is incomparable and ever lasting. She is the one in whom we seek solace when in pain. Most of us of our age group have lost our mothers and we live on their sweet memories. Our mothers are with their Heavenly Father . Let us hope to meet them in God's presence . Your deep bond with your mother, I sense here. A beautiful bouquet of memories, dear BJ

I felt this one deeply Betty Jo. I still miss my mother and so hope she is out of the pain she must have felt. Linda

Oh Linda, I'm sorry you too know this pain, so many of us do though, its sadly inevitable as time marches on. Hugs to you <3 Our hope is tangible, and I cling to it.

Thank you Vijay, I use to write her poems for Mother's Day and her birthday, I came across some from when I was little. She always loved my poems written for her. I hope she gets this one delivered by the angels :) <3
