Serenity

Just close your eyes, just go to sleep
and let the peace begin
The serenity you seek is with you now
for it comes from deep within

Put on your smile with loving grace
look forward not behind
Have complete repose with relaxation
of your senses and your mind

Then open the door to tranquility
where stillness and calmness wait
Don't worry if you're too early
Don't worry if you're too late

Our love will carry you when ever you go 
just call out His name and you'll see
You will find the peace you've been looking for
the peace of serenity



Dedicated to my Mother 9/01/2014

A ready made blueprint for love everlasting. Roger I mention that the poem you posted about your daughter reminded me of an old Faron Young song. You had never heard of him, but I hope you will like this song. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vhgTgxuy19w&feature=player_detailpage

Hey Richard, It has been a long time since I wrote a poem. But I wanted to write my mother a poem before she goes on hospice. I wanted her to find peace before our lord takes her away. thank you for your comment.......Your friend.....Roger

Oh heck, I made a comment earlier, but my internet was having problems it must not have went through. I had told you, and will again, that your poem is so heartfelt, I could feel the rhythm of your words. Your family is in my prayers honey, lots of love.xx
