My Mother In Er

My Mother in ER You were more beautiful in death than in life. I don't understand what painter God sent, to turn you into a sleeping goddess. I only know His name was clearly upon you. There was no gratuitous embalming or a touch of human make upon you. Yet.....Mom, you looked like a young Juliet most truly! With a divine golden essence to your hair, And skin so relaxed and so rosy. Going to meet Dad, your Romeo. I just knew he was waiting for you! I could have stood there for hours, gazing at your glorious inner peace. Right there in ER,where we prayed over you with Bible, wet from our tears, While you were en route to greater celestial spheres! I love you, Mom... Panagiota Romios 4/5/2019

Susan, how blessed we were to have her in our home to almost 90 years old. We took her with us everywhere, too. Don't tell anyone! I still sleep with her teddy bear.-)). She was quite a looker, too. Panagiota with blessings.

A beautiful write; your mother must have looked fabulous, which probably assured you that the angels took her, and she smiled when she left.

Thank you, Caren! I wish I could have that utterly angelic look! I was not exaggerating in the poem at all. I have never seen such a transformation in my life. It was a real blessing. Thank you for those sweet words, Panagiota.))
