As He Paid Tribute To All She Ever Gave

As He Paid Tribute To All She Ever Gave He stood at his mother's new grave again remembering her face, how she loved rain. How she loved rain, new puppies born in Spring looked skyward, could almost hear angels sing. Morn's glistening dew covered the new grass he wondered would this huge pain ever pass. As he laid pretty flowers on her grave HE PAID TRIBUTE TO ALL SHE EVER GAVE! Then just before tears were about to fall his kids cried out, that hurry up dad call. Life returned and he knew her big smile came as he heard her softly whisper his name. She had gave him bright stars shining above now he spoke of his returning her love. Robert J.
