Beata Agustin Poet Verse

Acceptance Conquest

Gone now is the despair of separation angst
By faith, I'm relieved from great loss-bondage.
                          God’s grace prevails
                            assuring hope!

My mother’s flight to immortality smote me  
left me grieving, yet momentarily.  
Though pangs of missing her engulf my heart
I’m soothed by her sweet memories of love’s fullness.

          Mom, you’re cheering me always, right?
         … as among witnesses* there up???

                          Truth accepted…
                            We’ll surely meet!

*Hebrew 12:1 ...We also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses...
