I Am Reminded of My Mother's Advice

i am reminded of my mother's advice find a woman with God dearest in her heart be grateful if she comes to love you sit at His feet therein and blessings be yours i am again lost in photos of you when life held you in precious moments those perennials you so loved each as knight errant before your roses lost in hues from rose, lavender, and blue butterflies appearing as they eagerly searched for their drams wings of white, yellow, and orange your marrow fills me now a longing held within times when i hunger to approach that Throne upon supplicant knees offer every blessing life has given for simply one more moment in your arms OKC 5/22 “Love is not love which alters it when alteration finds or bends with the remover to remove: O no! It is an ever-fixed mark that looks on tempests and is never shaken; it is the star to every wandering bark whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken." William Shakespeare
