Mother

In Memory Of Mother Was the trembling of your lips —so slight A manifest of earthly, cowered might When death announced itself that day With wind and rain and banished ray? And when you rose unto the gates Assisted by the wings of faith Did you fear the golden light In all its glory… So searing and bright? Did you worry… For within the book Your name was absent –or mistook For someone else who never cared A life thus ended, so unfair? Were you astonished when trumpets blared And joyous voices joined in prayer Welcoming your yearning, tired soul …From a life —so often cold For GOD knew your heart: like a soft, summers, sun– Showering all with it’s radiance; it’s warmth; it’s glowering remembrance …invigorating. For GOD knew your touch: like a cool, gentle, mountain stream- Clean; Clear; Providing— Coursing through the lives of all whom passed… …Sweeping; …Altering; …Purifying. For GOD knew you: As essential as a new-born’s first breath of air; As beneficial as spring times first drop of rain; As lasting as time itself! To all whom wandered by– Needing, Feeling, Hurting- You were a well of life. Your motto: “If you are thirsty… Drink…” …Touching them with your compassion …Understanding …And truth So put aside your haunting fears… …For even GOD and HIS ANGELS have shed a tear…
