A Heart That Bleeds

Ma's Sudden Deterioration Broke My Heart


Pa
Ma kids
Papa died
Mama worked daily.
She grew old but still functioned.
Own-way and fighting for her own
Independence still and lived alone doing
All things shopping with Credit Cards, paying bills
Doing her own laundry, traveling to the doctors,
Up to four months ago until a Lucifer said God loves you not!
Then
Like Job
Faith is still tried,
What a blow in boils did 
Lucifer gave,leaving off from
Being a son of light, now dwelling in 
The darkest places just to catch you out of faith!
Chronic diseases need tender care, but Mama did
Not believe this was truly so and one day she was found,
With lack of multifunction in all areas of life and true living.
Waiting
Praying for
A miracle to have
As God wills, purposes 
And plan, no man even owns himself
And what we may plan for another the Lord
May seem to do what ever it is he wants or allows
Man to do to his fellow man, as he watches from above
That each man may be accountable for his own misgivings,
Doing to others as he would like others to do unto him. Amen.
