Dear Mom


A Deluge of Tears
   That Dismal Day.
      New Pain Of Loss...
The Moaning Of My Heart.
   A Dark Nightmare
      Back Then...
Death's Cold Hand.

Broken...
   A Walk In Solitude,
      Bleak Days.
I Stand Here Now...
   I Speculate Why,
      In Midst Of Life...
A Life Taken Too Soon.

Comfort...
   Come Find Me.
      A Mother's Love...
It Is No More.
   Thoughts Unsaid...
      If I Could Go Back,
Just One More Day.

My Prayer...
   Move On,
      Letting Go.
This Is Mortality...
   The Beauty of Life,
      The Valley of Loss...
The Depth of Death.
      
Blessings Counted...
   A Special Love,
      A Mother's Love...
Amazing Grace.
   Beyond The Rainbow,
      At Peace... 
I'll Always Love You.

This brought a tear to my eye,Sandra. Thankfully my Mother is still thriving at 87 years old but it reminded me of the importance of cherishing the times left on this earth together. Congratulations. It was a touching, skillful compilation.
